INTRODUCTION
The hypertension is the major and common problem nowadays, a survey says that every
3rd home in sequence have the hypertension patient (Alloubani, Saleh, and Abdelhafiz, 2018) .
This is the issue created by the bad food habits includes junk food and lipid contain food and also
varies on to the physical activities which can be removes nowadays, in everyone's lifestyle. In
this report, will discuss about the hypertension, it's symptoms, biochemical and physiological
mechanism and also discusses about the role of diet and exercise in managing the hypertension.
Explain the biochemical and physiological mechanisms underpinning hypertension.
Hypertension is the problem in which the blood pressure becomes high into the arteries of
the body (Del Pinto and Ferri, 2019). It is the force exerted by the circulating blood, when the
blood pressure is too high then its denotes as hypertension. Blood pressure is two forms that is
Systolic and Diastolic, in systolic blood pressure the pressure is generated by the heart with the
contracting itself and pushing the flow of blood out. In the other side diastolic is also a type of
blood pressure in which the heart is getting relax and again fills with the de oxygenated blood.
There are many symptoms of high blood pressure are nose bleeding, fatigue, confusion,
difficulty in breathing, heartbeat becomes increases, vision problem, pain in chest and sometimes
blood in urine. There are many effects into the body, which can be generated by the
hypertension that is heart related diseases includes heart attack, stroke, myocardial infraction and
arteries damage and many more (Arif and et.al., 2019).
In context to the biochemical mechanism in which the hypertension is interaction with
the renin-angiotensin system and autonomic nervous system and also shows the mechanisms
factor including circulating volume of the flow of blood, sodium potassium exchange through
and urine and also many other hormonal dis balance occur. Where the physiological changes in
hypertension is the narrowing of blood vessels and arteries that can increases the pressure of the
blood against the walls of the arteries and this can leads to the force into the heart and to works
harder to maintains the pressure of the blood flow.
Prevalence and Incidence of hypertension
Prevalence is very differ from the incidence in which the prevalence is the data in which
includes all cases, new cases and also pre-existing cases of the particular diseases, where the
incidence refers only new cases of the particular diseases (Beshay, Sahay and Humbert, 2020).
