Addicted to watching reels late at night? It might be raising your risk of Hypertension!

KDAH

When you spend too much time watching reels or scrolling before bed, it overstimulates your brain and makes it harder to wind down. As a result, you end up sleeping less and not sleeping well. Poor sleep increases your body’s stress levels, which in turn can raise your blood pressure. Over time, this cycle can significantly increase your risk of developing hypertension, even if you're young and otherwise healthy. The most concerning part? You might not even realize it’s happening until high blood pressure begins affecting vital organs like your heart, brain, or kidneys. To protect your health, try setting a "digital curfew" at least an hour before bed. Swap late-night scrolling for calming activities like reading or listening to soothing music. Prioritize getting 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep each night, and make sure to get your blood pressure checked regularly—even if you feel fine. #WorldHypertensionDay #HypertensionAwareness #DigitalDetox #LateNightScrolling #BloodPressureTips #HealthyHabits
