If you’re one of the 70 million American adults with hypertension, also known as high-blood pressure, there is a good chance you know the risks associated with the disease. I certainly have hypertension as it runs rampant in my family, and I do know I have to keep it under control to avoid kidney disease, heart disease and stroke.

Using tens of thousands of anonymized measurements taken by QardioArm blood pressure monitor users across the nation, Qardio accumulated data to show that Thanksgiving actually improves blood pressure. Thanksgiving is a time of enjoying spending time with loved ones, feasting on good food, taking time away from work and shopping until you drop. All around it is a fun time and the infographic proves that we Americans who have hypertension need more down time with loved ones.
Above are data visualizations summarizing the effects of Thanksgiving holidays on systolic blood pressure. Diastolic blood pressure followed a similar trend, with the average blood pressure for the month of November coming down from 132/80 to an average blood pressure of 128/72 on Thanksgiving Day.
At the end of the day, if you own a blood pressure monitor and use it, you clearly have taken a real effort in keeping your blood pressure under control. Kudos to you.
