Konsumsi garam berlebih membuat pembuluh darah pada ginjal menyempit dan
menahan aliran darah. Kandungan garam yang tinggi dalam tubuh dapat mengganggu
kerja ginjal. Garam harus dikeluarkan dari tubuh oleh ginjal, tetapi karena garam
sifatnya mengikat banyak air, maka makin tinggi garam membuat volume darah
meningkat. Volume darah semakin tinggi sedangkan lebar pembuluh darah tetap. Ini
artinya tekanan darah menjadi semakin meningkat dan dapat meningkatkan risiko
hipertensi.
Untuk itulah, ginjal memproduksi hormon Renin dan Angiostenin agar pembuluh
darah utama mengeluarkan tekanan darah yang besar sehingga pembuluh darah pada
ginjal bisa mengalirkan darah seperti biasanya. Tekanan keras pada pembuluh yang
sebenarnya tidak diperlukan akan membuat pembuluh darah melemah. Sebenarnya
faktor hipertensi belum bisa dipastikan pada lebih dari 90 persen kasus. Seiring
bertambahnya usia, kemungkinan untuk menderita hipertensi juga akan meningkat.
Faktor-faktor pemicu yang diduga dapat memengaruhi peningkatan risiko hipertensi
diantaranya : Berusia di atas 65 tahun, mengonsumsi banyak garam, kelebihan berat
badan, dan memiliki keluarga dengan hipertensi.
Salt containing iodine has many health benefits for the human body. Salt into
complementary materials are usually added to dishes. Without salt a dish will was not
complete and tasteless. Salt is very important to make food become more delicious. But
if the body consumes too much salt will cause health problems such as hypertension.
Consumption of excessive salt makes blood vessels in the kidneys narrows and
block the flow of blood. The high salt content in the body can affect the kidneys. Salt
should be removed from the body by the kidneys, but because salt is binding much
water, the higher the salt makes blood volume increases. The higher blood volume while
the width of blood vessels. This means increased blood pressure and may increase the
risk of hypertension.
For this reason, the kidneys produce hormones Renin and Angiostenin that major
blood vessels eject blood pressure is so great that the blood vessels in the kidneys can
drain the blood as usually. Hard pressure on the veins that are not needed will make the
blood vessels weakened. Actually a factor in hypertension can not be ascertained in
more than 90 percent of cases. As people age, it is likely to suffer from hypertension will
also increase. Trigger factors which allegedly could affect the increased risk of
hypertension, including: Aged over 65 years, consume a lot of salt, being overweight
and having a family with hypertension.
Keep in mind that some people are sensitive to salt so that consume little salt will
increase blood pressure. Limiting salt intake since early stage will free you from
hypertension. In addition to limiting salt intake for people with hypertension, reduce
high blood pressure effectively can also be done with a healthy lifestyle. Regular
exercise and attention to a healthy bedtime can help keep normal blood pressure.
Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables and foods high in fiber can also help to
lower high blood pressure optimally.
