Caffeinated Drinks
Caffeinated drinks, including soda, coffee and tea, can cause your blood vessels to narrow, negatively affecting blood flow and increasing blood pressure levels. These drinks can also increase the release of adrenaline, which can wreak havoc on your blood pressure.
Alcohol
Drinking large amounts of alcohol can increase the release of renin, a hormone that can cause your blood vessels to narrow. It is worth noting the longevity of alcohol-induced high blood pressure depends on your drinking patterns. For instance, if you do not drink regularly, your blood pressure might stabilize after a short time.
Fast Foods
Fast foods are a good source of saturated fat and salt. Saturated fat leads to increased LDL or bad cholesterol levels, promoting high blood pressure. On the other hand, excess salt causes water retention, which affects your blood vessels, increasing the risk of high blood pressure.
GP
The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
