Benter: We can prevent hypertension (high blood pressure) if we are cautious

Known for his studies that he contributed to the field of medicine throughout the world and who has signed important scientific data in the field of hypertension, Prof. Dr. İbrahim Benter made statements that are important for human health due to May 17 World Hypertension Day.

Known as the silent killer, hypertension is at a level that threatens human health today. However, people can be exposed to high blood pressure for years in cases that are not taken seriously by people because they do not have certain symptoms. Many problems such as kidney problems, cerebral hemorrhage, cardiovascular problems are experienced due to high blood pressure. Therefore, it is very important for everyone to have their blood pressure measured at least once every 6 months in order to prevent problems that may occur.

We are lucky that there are many drugs available for the treatment of this disease, which can be controlled by a doctor's examination.

The problems caused by hypertension, which has a predisposition due to genetic reasons, can be prevented if we are cautious.

The causes of hypertension are stress, unhealthy diet, inactivity and bad habits. In order to prevent this disease, we need to eat healthy, not consume processed food, avoid habits such as alcohol and cigarettes, and stress.

However, if we have to use drugs, we should not delay the drug treatment.
