Research Ties Weight Loss To Blood Pressure

POSTED: 6:29 p.m. EDT October 22, 2002

New research has uncovered a link between weight loss and blood pressure.

Studies of animals found blood-pressure-regulating enzymes and hormones are produced in fatty tissue.

The study proved that even a small amount of weight loss can decrease the activity in the enzymes and help lower high blood pressure.

High blood pressure can often lead to heart disease and stroke.
