Thirty Million Americans Getting Some Bad Health News

According to USA Today, thirty million Americans are getting some bad health news.  They have high blood pressure and need to do something about it.

Doctors and other experts, from the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology and nine other groups, are moving the goal line for blood pressure control.

This means that 46% of adults in the USA, about 103 million, could now be diagnosed with hypertension.  That's up from 32% or 72 million under the old guidelines.

Most of those people will be urged to change their diets, exercise more and make other lifestyle changes rather than take medication.  Click on the above link for more information.
