London: New research conducted by the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh in the UK, and published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, suggests that exposure to sunlight may help reduce blood pressure. In turn, this could cut the risk of heart attack and stroke.
According to the National Institutes of Health, about 1 in 3 adults in the US have high blood pressure. We know that blood pressure tends to rise with age, but following a healthy lifestyle can help delay or prevent this rise.
Overweight people are more likely to have high blood pressure, and we also know that black people are also more at risk for this condition than white or Hispanic people.
Medical News Today recently looked at studies showing thathigh blood pressure can be more dangerous in women, and that socio-economic status can also be a factor in successful blood pressure reduction.
