There are cases where people are just kind of “born” with hormonal conditions that lead them to have higher blood pressure than normal. For example, an imbalance in the thyroid gland can contribute to higher blood pressure. Catching these types of conditions early is important so the right choices can be made in regards to diet and activity. Even people with conditions predisposing them to risk of hypertension will benefit by eating right and maintaining an active lifestyle.
