Si la hipertensión es hereditaria en mi familia, ¿por qué me salvé yo?

Mis cinco hermanos tienen presión arterial alta, pero yo no. De hecho, cuando era más joven, siempre la tuve bastante baja.

 

Me pregunto si mi dieta, mi estilo de vida y el hecho de vivir en otra parte del país tendrán algo que ver. Me fui de casa en cuanto cumplí 18 años y me uní a la Infantería de Marina, mientras que el resto de la familia se quedó cerca de donde crecimos. Me resulta extraño ser el único que no desarrolló hipertensión.

    Genes and lifestyle determined your health conditions, so keep up the good work and stay healthy

    Living a healthier lifestyle whether it's eating better or working out definitely helps!

    I guess your family except you have been sharing similar life style, including diet and lifestyle etc. These factors could affect their hypertension and heredity is also reason for that.

    As you get older, it can appear hereditary.

    we all have a big gen side in our bodies wich will affect us, but the thing that you had been out, living in the army, wich I think they control the kind of food that you eat, excersise, sleep time etc, it makes you that your life style controls the genes... keep this way for your own health

    It's interesting that you haven’t developed high blood pressure while your siblings have. Several factors might contribute to this difference:
    1. Diet: Your diet might be lower in sodium and higher in beneficial nutrients compared to your family's, especially if you live in a region with different dietary habits.
    2. Lifestyle: Regular exercise, which is common in military training, can help maintain healthy blood pressure. Your active lifestyle might be a key factor.
    3. Environmental Factors: Moving to a different region could mean exposure to different environmental stressors and lifestyle practices that might positively influence your blood pressure.
    4. Genetics: While genetics play a significant role, environmental and lifestyle factors can influence the expression of these genetic predispositions.
    Overall, a combination of diet, lifestyle, and possibly regional factors could contribute to your lower blood pressure.
