A greater incidence of high blood pressure, which salt is believed to exacerbate.
- JulianMorrison 12y agoI prescribe a diet of not being subject to the constant stress of racist micro-aggressions.
- vixen99 12y agoPeople with dark skin can experience vitamin D deficiency in northern climates. One of the many symptoms is hypertension. Some estimates are that you need 10 times more sun exposure to produce the same amount of vitamin D as a person with pale skin.
- JulianMorrison 12y agoThis does not suggest reducing salt, but rather supplementing vitamin D. It also doesn't rule out stress as a distinct, parallel cause.
- vixen99 12y agoWho says it does?
- reitanqild 12y agoAgree with the part of constant stress.[0][1] Some full moons ago I took pills that among other effects also had a side effect of increasing blood pressure. Which they absolutely did to me until one day I postponed them in the last minute only to feel the side effect the same way as usual a few minutes later when they should have reached the blood stream. From that day that side effects disappeared. Our brains plays games with us. About 30%[1] of us seems more prone to this[2] than others. [0]: context: JulianMorrisons post was downvoted when I commented. I read it as funny, not SJW, and I agree that constant stress seems to be a big issue.) [1]: See vixen99s explanation for what seems like the dry facts about the link between skin color and hypertension [2]: or was it 60%? I can't remember. [3]: placebo and nocebo I think
- JulianMorrison 12y agoI am 100% SJW and proud of it.
- MrJagil 12y agoWhat explains this incidence? Is it genetic? EDIT: Vixen explains it below, if a vitamin-D deficiency correlates to high blood pressure that is.
