She also catches every cold and bug around. From a holistic perspective, here is what I suspect is going on:
Startling news about high blood pressure
Currently, about 75 million Americans have high blood pressure—that’s about 1 out of 3 adults! And it’s not just the total number that’s a concern here because the overall percentage of people suffering from it is growing too.
