high blood pressure in children





Gbex says: Wooooahhhhhh, naaaahhhh, this post does not necessarily identify me to a line-up of dad and mom bloggers who blog about their children's keepsake, but let's just think that maybe, in due time or sooner or later, I am gonna be like them, too: people of the world who are most concerned with the well being of their children.
So, whether you tag me as domesticated macho or whatnot, I am gonna tell you here my buddies that children in the world , even babies, can acquire high blood pressure.
The American Heart Association recommends that all children must have a yearly blood pressure measurement.
Some children have higher blood pressures for unknown reasons.
Children who are overweight usually have higher blood pressure.
The reasons aren't fully understood. Assessing dietary and physical activity behaviors and modifications may be recommended by the doctor to lower high blood pressure in overweight children.
Parents should set a good example by not smoking and help educate their children about the dangers of smoking...
Need I say more?
