How To Prevent High Blood Pressure From Damaging Kidneys Naturally

Kidneys play a role in keeping blood pressure at the right level. This is important because blood pressure is closely related to the health of the kidneys. High blood pressure is a leading cause of kidney disease and kidney failure. Well, how to prevent hypertension from damaging kidneys naturally?

1. First, how does high blood pressure affect the kidneys?

High blood pressure can damage blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to work properly. When the force of blood flow is high, blood vessels stretch so blood flows become more easily. Finally, this stretching scars and weakens blood vessels throughout the body, including those in the kidneys.

When the kidneys’ blood vessels are damaged, they may stop removing wastes and extra fluid from the body. Excess fluid in the blood vessels may then elevate blood pressure even more. This is a dangerous cycle.

And it is better to take aerobic activity to control high blood pressure like climbing stairs, walking, jogging, bicycling and swimming.
