Therapist Shelekhova called drinking habits, because of which pressure increases

An incorrectly selected diet, an excess of fatty, salty or sweet foods affects all health indicators. Probably even a schoolboy now knows regarding this. But few of us, pouring a cup of strong tea in the morning or buying a can of soda, think that drinking habits also affect our body. In particular, they can negatively affect the level of blood pressure.

Many drinks that are consumed occasionally or daily contain biologically active substances that affect vascular tone or the amount of fluid that is retained in tissues and arteries. “Doctor Peter” asked Violetta Shelekhova, a general practitioner, a cardiologist, what drinking habits can affect blood pressure and how they do it.
