🎧 Audio Article

Introduction

Listen now: A new audio feature on DrJesseSantiano.com breaks down critical insights on how managing multiple health markers can reduce your risk of early death if you have hypertension.

This short episode explains a powerful study on how achieving control over six key health risk factors can drastically lower your chance of premature mortality, not just from hypertension but also from other serious diseases. This is your quick but essential listen if you aim to live longer and stronger.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Hypertension isn’t a death sentence—uncontrolled risk factors are.
• The more risk factors you control, the lower your risk of dying early.
• Key factors include:
  • Controlled blood pressure
  • Healthy body weight
  • Normal blood sugar and lipids
  • Not smoking
  • Regular physical activity
• People who controlled 5–6 risk factors had the lowest premature death rates.
• Controlling these same risk factors also reduces the risk for:
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Heart attacks and strokes
  • Kidney failure
  • Certain cancers
  • And overall all-cause mortality

Below are the 8 Risk Factors to Control to Lower the Risk of Dying from High Blood Pressure

🎯 Bottom Line: The more lifestyle-related risk factors you take control of, the stronger your defense against disease and early death. Small changes in habits can lead to big changes in lifespan.
