why does sedentary lifestyle cause hypertension
âSedentary lifestyle leads to hypertensionâ. Lack of physical activity, wrong eating habits and a stressful life are the major factors that lead to hypertension. To stay fit, a healthy lifestyle is necessary. This is the message from experts on World Hypertension Day being observed on Saturday. A sedentary lifestyle and wrong eating habit have resulted in a range of health problems, including hypertension, which can be prevented to a great extent by avoiding smoking and drinking habits, say city doctors. What is alarming is the prevalence of âpre-hypertensionâ among persons aged between 12 and 20 years.
