I know drinking alcohol, smoking, being lazy contributes to high blood pressure.
That’s NOT what I’m asking.
What causes your blood to pressurize more than normal?
What all of those risk factors you mention do is decrease the diameter, compliance or increasing the contraction of blood vessels. When you narrow the volume of the blood vessels but maintain the volume of blood, the pressure of the blood increases.

after I started medicine to treat my high blood pressure I lose 25 pounds without trying
I went from 285 pounds down to 260 pounds. A healthy weight for me is 185 pounds
I think that the symptoms of high blood pressure made me feel like eating to relieve these symptoms.
And as the symptoms went away so did the extra eating which caused me to lose 25 pounds.
Why do so many people disagree with me?
If you were eating because of your symptoms,it’s possible you lost the weight because you got treatment. People probably disagree because maybe their medication made them gain weight,or simply because some people are know it alls,and think they know more about your body than you do.
Thank you very much for your answer.
Also, how does obesity cause diabetes?
If you get too obese your arteries clog up with fat. Its like pipes being clogged up dirt. The arteries now become narrower and can not carry as much blood.And also the clogging up hinders the flow of blood. In order to supply enough blood to different parts of your body through the clogged arteries, the heart has to pump blood harder and faster. thus causing high blood pressure and fast heart beat.
High cholesterol is something to be avoided, or so we are told through magazine and TV commercials espousing the benefits of the latest cholesterol reducing drug. Unfortunately these advertisements are correct in that having high levels of this fatty lipid in our bodies can be dangerous, and in many cases fatally so.
High cholesterol itself does not normally cause any symptoms but high levels of it in the blood stream can signify and increased risk for other life threatening health problems. This means that most people have no idea as to what their cholesterol levels are until they have a blood test. In fact even healthy and active people can have high cholesterol levels because of their genetic pre-disposition, which points out why it is important that everyone have their levels tested at least once a year.
Much like hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol is a very large and invisible danger to those who have it. Here’s why.
High cholesterol itself is not a disease but having abnormal amounts in the blood causes the accumulation and formation of plaque deposits in your arteries. These plaques are comprised primarily of cholesterol, fatty deposits, fibrous tissues, and calcium. This build up of plaque in your arteries lead to atherosclerosis which is a hardening and obstruction of the arteries.
Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of heart disease and increases the risk of stroke. As the arteries become blocked the heart has to work harder, raising blood pressure and increasing the chances of a heart attack. These plaques can also break loose and lodge in the smaller veins and arteries of the brain causing a stroke.
High cholesterol is not something that should be ignored. If you are found to have high levels it is important to make some serious lifestyle changes to bring those levels down. This can include diet, exercise, and in extreme cases prescription medications. High cholesterol is a symptom of something else, something that may have a far more deadly effect on your life. Don’t let high cholesterol be a silent killer, take the necessary steps to protect yourself.

These types of harmful substances is toxin. Our body detoxified functions try to get rid of them everyday, when they fails causing disruption of hormone production, damaging our body detoxification organs and weaken our immune system resulting in hormone imbalance and many chronic illness consequently.
II. Causes

1. Overdose of red meat
Our animals are grown in a crowded environment and fed by growth hormones to perverse the maximum profits. No matter how restricted the government regulations are, these traces of growth hormone still remain in the animal body causing more harm than good. Although our body requires protein and fat to function daily, overdose of red meat causes cholesterol building up in the arteries, triglyceride in the bloodstream, and high blood pressure resulting in heart diseases and chronic illness.
2. Overdose sugar
Carbohydrates are essential to our liver and kidney function, overdose of sugar in American diet causes insulin resistance, damaging the pancreas, reducing the circulation of blood and causing hormone imbalance.
