Hypertension or high blood pressure is a major factor responsible for heart-related disorders among the younger generation, including Gen Z. Chronic high blood pressure exerts excessive pressure on the heart muscles and damages the lining of the walls of the arteries, leading to a build-up of plaque, which can cause narrowing of the arteries and reduced blood flow, or even blockage. Unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as eating food high in saturated fats, avoiding regular exercise, and living a stress-filled life, are making the younger generation susceptible to hypertension and related heart disorders.
