“Three-fourths of Americans walk around chronically dehydrated – so chances are, you are one of them. Dehydration is a dangerous condition. It’s the hidden culprit behind many health problems, one of which is high blood pressure.

While high blood pressure is mainly a result of poor food choices and other lifestyle issues, dehydration compounds the problem drastically. Blood is 83% water. When you aren’t drinking enough, your blood thickens and your heart has to work harder to circulate it. This can compound issues of high blood pressure and in some cases even cause high blood pressure in someone who didn’t previously have it.”

– Nelson Searcy, Steve Reynolds & Jennifer Dykes Henson
