If you are obese, you have more body mass. Each additional part requires blood vessels running to it to provide food and remove wastes. So your heart needs to pump harder - higher blood pressure - to supply blood to all of the "excess" body fat.
As your body carries extra weight it has to compensate for this. It compensates by making your body and organs work harder as opposed to not being overweight causing your lungs to work harder and faster in turn making your heart work harder and faster therefore raising your blood pressure.
Obesity makes your heart work harder because it has to pump blood through more area. Ffor ever unnessisary pound of fat that you have, there are three more miles of blood vessels added to your body.
Excessive salt in the diet. Excessive stress in tehir everyday lie. A lack of regular exercise. Too much caffeine. Cigarette smoking. All of these things and more can contribute to elevated blood pressure.
Obesity is recognized as a major cause of high BP, and the combination of obesity and hypertension (high blood pressure) is recognized as a pre-eminent cause of heart trouble.
Obesity predisposes the kidney to reabsorb sodium by neural, hormonal, and renovascular mechanisms. This enhanced sodium avidity shifts the pressure natriuresis curve to the right, thereby necessitating higher arterial pressure to excrete the day's salt intake and maintain sodium balance and volume homeostasis.
To put this in simpler terms, the heavier body holds on to salt too tightly and to remove it at the kidneys (one of the kidney's jobs), higher blood pressure is required.
Obesity increases the risk for developing hypertension because people struggling with obesity have an unhealthy amount of fat blocking their arteries, which increases blood pressure...
