my dad passed away 10 yrs ago bcuz of stroke(cerebral hemorrhage)..this is a genetic inheritance..but even we have the genes, we still can prevent it or take control of it..
Hypertension is one of the most common complex disorders, with genetic heritability averaging 30%.[citation needed] Data supporting this view emerge from animal studies as well as in population studies in humans. Most of these studies support the concept that the inheritance is probably multifactorial or that a number of different genetic defects each have an elevated blood pressure as one of their phenotypic expressions.
More than 50 genes have been examined in association studies with hypertension, and the number is constantly growing.
and these are few steps of prevention..
-Weight reduction and regular aerobic exercise
-Reducing dietary sugar and sodium(salt) intake
-Discontinuing tobacco use and alcohol consumption
-Reducing stress, for example with relaxation therapy, such as meditation and other mindbody relaxation techniques..
miss u dad..! :( may his soul rest in peace..
