US: Healthy weight tops fitness in high BP prevention
Achieving a healthy weight is more beneficial than improving fitness in terms of preventing high blood pressure, according to a recent study.

This study's findings lead its researchers to believe that weight management should be the primary focus of high blood pressure prevention. Heartwire.
