Did you know? The closer you get to the North or South Pole, the higher your blood pressure tends to be!
This is no joke. Research shows that cold temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict, increasing peripheral resistance — and causing blood pressure to rise. That's why blood pressure is generally higher in winter than in summer.
So if you live in a cold region, or often have cold hands and feet in winter, you should pay extra attention to your blood pressure.
Don't rely on how you feel. Don't guess. Having a best blood pressure monitor at home is the first step to keeping things under control ！
