Can high sugar levels cause high blood pressure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
High sugar levels causes blood vessel damage, vascular remodelling leading to increased peripheral artery resistance. Also, body fluid volume increases in response to insulin resistance-induced hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Both increased peripheral vascular resistance and body fluid volume lead to increase in systemic blood pressure causing Hypertension.

I'm really looking to increase my height at 26 years old. At the moment, I'm 5'6" and I'd love to reach around 5'9" or 5'10". I've heard about HGH supplements like L-arginine or L-lysinedo these actually work for someone my age? If not, are there any other supplements you might recommend for height growth? I stay active with yoga, running, stretching, and jumping. Would love your advice!
Unfortunately, at the age of 26, your growth plates have likely fused, making it very difficult to increase height through supplements or exercises. HGH supplements like l-arginine or l-lysine may not significantly impact your height at this stage. However, you can consider taking calcium and vitamin D supplements to maintain bone health. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals can support overall health and potentially optimize your height potential.
