\"\"<\/a>According to a recent study, even by decreasing one’s daily intake of sugary drinks<\/strong> by a small amount can lead to improvements for those suffering from high blood pressure.\u00a0 The study showed that by reducing the daily amount by one can (how many cans do Americans drink in a day?) that one can reduce blood pressure<\/strong> from 1.8 points in systolic pressure down to 1.1 points of systolic pressure; a total drop of 0.7 points in systolic pressure.<\/p>\n

According to assistant professor of epidemiology at Louisiana State University Health Science Center School of Public Health<\/strong>, Dr. Liwei Chen, the study “found a direct dose-response relationship.\u00a0 Individually, it was not a big reduction. But population-wise, reducing total consumption could have a huge impact.”\u00a0 In other words, the 0.7 drop in systolic pressure does not represent a startling breakthrough for any given individual, but if you added up a lot of people, say everyone in America, it adds up to a much bigger drop.<\/p>\n

The study was conducted on a group of elderly people who did not consume a large amount of sugary drinks to begin with; it was stated that their level of consumption was already far below the American average of 2.3 drinks a day.<\/p>\n
