Hypertension is a chronic disease, which can lead to serious health consequences, such as a heart attack or a stroke. If the risk factors are higher with age, certain drinks can also be implicated in hypertension.
1. Energy drinks
These contain taurine and caffeine. However, these two elements increase blood pressure, as well as heart rate.
2. Alcohol
Alcohol is known to be bad for your health, especially to increase blood pressure. Absolutely avoid. It is even more dangerous if you are already taking medication for high blood pressure, as it may affect the effect of these medications. In addition, it is high in calories, contributing to weight gain, which increases the risk of hypertension.
3. Sparkling water
Some of them are particularly high in salt. This increases the tension. Therefore, favor sparkling waters that include the mention “suitable for a low sodium diet”. Do not drink those that exceed 200 msg of salt per litre.
4. Coffee
Coffee increases heart rate and therefore blood pressure. You don’t have to banish it completely, but drink it in moderation, trying not to exceed 200 milligrams a day.
5. Soft drinks
Carbonated or sugary drinks can also be implicated. In general, they are to be avoided. As they are sweet, they make you gain weight. However, weight gain further increases hypertension.
