Will My Blood Pressure Lower If I Lose Weight?

Here is a question I received from a reader of this blog. She asks: "will my blood pressure lower if I lose weight?"

The answer is almost certainly it will.

High blood pressure and obesity have a high correlation. Those who are overweight are more likely to have high blood pressure and the more you are overweight then the higher your blood pressure is likely to be.

Does this means that being obese causes higher blood pressure? This is not clear and the relationship between the two is complicated. One thing for sure is that those who are overweight are more likely to have a poor diet, especially one that contains too much salt.

By the way, it's not just your weight that is important but also your levels of activity (they don't have to necessarily be high but they should at least be moderate) and also your stress levels. If you neglect any of these three things then you can still have high blood pressure and the increased risk of cardiovascular disease that it brings with it.
