What’s Wrong With Gaining a Little Weight?

Dropping five pounds can make a difference to your health.

Those small fluctuations in weight could be doing you harm. So before you brush off that snug waistband, you should know that a small increase in weight is bad for your blood pressure.

Why those few extra points raise your blood pressure?

Chronic stress can push blood pressure numbers up into danger territory, but according to the American Heart Association (AHA), your weight also plays a big role.

Hanging onto extra weight, even a few pounds, is bad for your blood pressure and your overall health, too.
