Sugary Drinks Raise Blood Pressure?
- viraptor 16y agoIs this actually news? I thought it's a common knowledge till now. For example exhausted people feeling dizzy, will often eat/drink something that will give them sugar to get back to "normal" state of blood pressure quickly. Or are they talking about something different? The second part is also what I thought was a known fact -- lower blood pressure reduces the risk of heart-related problems. Am I missing something here?
- arn 16y agoFor your 'dizzy, have something with sugar'. The dizzy feeling is associated with low-blood sugar, hence the sugar to raise it. It's not a low-blood pressure/high-blood pressure thing. So, no, afaik drinking sugar doesn't cause your blood pressure to rise acutely.
