Drinking May Raise Blood Pressure
June 4th, 2010 by admin
A recent study has shown that drinking alcohol even in moderate amounts can boost your blood pressure. people that have a genetic mutation that makes consuming alcohol difficult had lower blood pressure than regular or heavy drinkers. people without this mutation who had about 3 drinks per day had significantly higher blood pressure than those with the mutation who drank small amounts or not at all. High blood pressure affects more than a billion adults worldwide and can lead to stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure. Limiting your alcohol consumption seems to be necessary for those who are at risk for high blood pressure
