Blood Pressure is in 90% of cases a function of genetic
susceptibility (increased vascular tone) and lifestyle factors (weight,salt
intake, alcohol, smoking). Body wt is 60% water, so sharp volume
increases drive up BP. Improving lifestyle factors can typically drop
BP 10-15 points. For many, that's not enough and meds will be required.
