Yes; yes it does!This is particularly nice to know at this time of the year when many people gain 7-8 pounds over the holidays. The trick is to lose this rather than gaining 7-8 pounds every year that you never lose.
On average, losing 10 pounds (no matter how much you presently weigh) results on an 8-10% reduction in you blood pressure.
This may not sound like much, but it's about what you would see with starting doses of prescription blood pressure pills.
Take home message: losing 10 pounds is as helpful as starting a blood pressure medication. Which one sounds better?
