High Blood Pressure Is Harder To Control In The Winter

High Blood Pressure is harder to control in the winter than it is in the summer apparently. Now is this Rocket science or just plain fact and common sense?

Now for those who have spent the majority of their lives struggling with their weight or living on one diet or another then the above statement probably doesn't come as too much of a surprise.

The findings that support this theory have been published in a study in the United States recently and the report concerning US military veteran’s suffering from hypertension or high blood pressure in 15 cities. The study covered a five-year period and covered cities from as far apart as Anchorage in Alaska in the north and San Juan in Puerto Rico in the south.

Overall it was found that about 60% of the patients taking part in this study had a marked change in blood pressure control in the winter.

Now researchers haven't necessarily figured out just what is causing this but it does seem to be beyond being powered purely by changes in temperature and daylight that occurred during the winter or are influenced by the latitude of the city taking part.

The one thing this study has highlighted however is that high blood pressure is something that must be taken seriously.
