Blood pressure is affected by multiple systems and factors, all of which must be functioning properly.1. Blood circulation (heart and vessels)
2. Blood volume
3. Blood osmolality. Osmolality refers to the balance of solutes and water within a solution, in this case, the blood., salt, potassium
4. Blood viscosity
5. Systemic vascular resistance (SVR), also known as total peripheral resistance (TPR), is the amount of force exerted on circulating blood by the blood vessels of the body.
6. Interstitium and Interstitial
7. Lymphatic
8. Renal (includes kidneys)
9. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is a critical regulator of blood volume and systemic vascular resistance. The RAAS involves the kidneys, lungs, systemic vasculature, and the brain.
10. Liver
11. Bone Marrow
12. Nervous system
13. Immune System
Additional Factors
1. Hydration and Diet2. Drugs (Prescription and Non-prescription)
3. Stress Management
Contrary To Modern Medical Belief
1. Age is not a risk factor. Instead it is Age combined with culture.2. Gender is not a risk factor. Instead it is Gender combined with culture.
3. Race is not a risk factor because race is based on skin color. Instead it is the disfavored group combined with the culture of the favored group. It is an ill-fit of logic that contributes to illness.
4. Family history is not a risk factor. Instead it is family history combined with age, gender, skin color and the culture one follows. Culture as a risk factor for blood pressure malfunction, can be termed “passing on bad habits.” This is why culture is also family history related.

5. Physiology, Systemic Vascular ResistanceFirst point: Managing blood pressure with medication is a low value approach because the cause of blood pressure malfunction is unknown, yet multiple systems are involved. This is why a medication approach results in the need to take several, each with problematic dangerous effects, affecting various body parts and systems. Thus, as always, the best approach is a whole body ecosystem approach to health that gives the body what it needs to restore and maintain cellular balance, thus keep all systems dynamically balanced.
Second point: Culture is the biggest risk factor for all imbalance, thus all illness. Our current cultures continue to blame anything and everything for problems and illness, except blaming the culture itself.If any other species had the societal problems humans have and had the physical and mental illnesses humans have, and was the cause of problems for us and so many other species, not only would that species self-destruct itself out of existence, we'd hate the thought of that species and consider it the most worthless species ever created.
