High blood pressure comes from the kidneys, not the heart, doctor: Sugar, the

Doctor Luçiano Bardhi spoke about high blood pressure and the reasons that influence the increase in patients with this problem.

Invited to News 24, the doctor said that the main reason that affects high blood pressure is not the heart, as is the general perception.

" High blood pressure is a common issue today. Today, the foods we call junk food have increased a lot and one of the causes of high blood pressure is packaged foods."

High blood pressure is related to the kidneys, there are very few cases where high blood pressure is caused by the heart. The biggest enemy of blood pressure is sugar, not salt, so foods with a high glucose content are affected.

Many foods such as molto, soufflés, hamburgers, alcohol, and carbonated drinks are affected.

"High blood pressure is influenced by kidney damage, not the heart. The kidney is what makes the balance. High blood pressure means depletion of minerals in the heart ," he explained.

Bardhi has called on patients being treated for hypertension not to stop taking the medications they are taking as a personal decision and without consulting their doctors.
