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"

: Since your answer is essentially the same as mine, I feel you could "agree" with mine and maybe add the comment "I think effect would be best". This is a common approach when offering an "agree" to an answer and it shows friendly intention :)
