A study published in the BMC Journal has revealed that watching short videos or reels before bedtime may increase the risk of hypertension in young and middle-aged adults.

Researchers from Hebei Medical University analyzed data from 4,318 participants in 2023, uncovering a strong link between nighttime screen time and essential hypertension.

This is attributed to the sedentary nature of this habit and its potential to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, which can interfere with the body’s ability to relax.

The study emphasizes the importance of limiting screen time at night, along with managing body weight, controlling blood lipids, glucose levels, and sodium intake, as effective ways to reduce the risk of hypertension and promote better heart health.
