Just when you thought it was safe. Just when you thought it was easy to understand how to prevent high blood pressure and the pesky brain haemorrhage that can follow from it. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Just cut out salt, right? <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Well, now s<\/span>cientists have linked drinking sugary drinks<\/b><\/i> like fizzy cola and fruit drinks with high blood pressure and say their findings suggest that cutting both sugar and salt intake could help reduce the risk.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a major risk factor for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death worldwide.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
In a study of more than 2,500 people in the United States and Britain, researchers found that for every extra can of sugary drink consumed per day<\/b><\/i>, participants had higher systolic blood pressure by an average of 1.6 mmHg and a higher diastolic reading by an average of 0.8 mmHg.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Listen. If you get a brain bleeder, chances are?, you’re done; your family either has to put you in a box or take care of you for the rest of your vegetative life. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
And for what? A soda? How in the world does this make sense to do? Just give them up and trade them in for tea, or water, or even a glass of wine at dinner!! <\/span><\/div>\n
