🤔 What affects blood pressure during the day?
- Physical activity: during exercise, blood pressure can increase, but after rest it returns to normal.
- Stress: emotional stress can cause a jump in blood pressure.
- Nutrition: excessive salt, caffeine, and insufficient water intake.
- Time of day: blood pressure can be higher in the morning due to the activation of hormones
