I read this in Irishhealth.com;
Over 100 taxi drivers were randomly selected and tested for high blood pressure at Dublin Airport in May of this year. Results showed 74% were affected. A blood pressure measurement in excess of the internationally recognised goal of 140/90mmHg was considered hypertensive. GP referrals were made where necessary.
This makes me even more determined to keep the weight off and live a healthier lifestyle.
