A Michigan Medicine study found that high systolic blood pressure (the top number on the blood pressure reading and how hard the heart pumps blood to the arteries) increases the risk of the two most common types of strokes over time.
Researchers discovered that only half of the individuals matched the nutritional value of their meals and snacks. This discrepancy negatively affects health indicators including blood sugar and fat levels, and resolving it may be as easy as changing one's diet.
