The end of the sentence relates to the reference to obesity at the beginning of the sentence
certain food increases blood pressure, apart from (or as well as) its effect on body weight.
It's written in quite an informal manner, hence the reference to "tensión" and "peso" |

| Grading comment Thanks, Emma. I chose to phrase it differently, but it means the same thing. I prefer to give points to the first person responding, when their answer is reasonable. Have a great day.
