Investigators in Greece report that taking a midday nap can work as well as giving up salt and alcohol to bring down high blood pressure. Lead researcher Manolis Kallistratos, M.D., a cardiologist, said the new findings are important because “a drop in blood pressure as small as two milli-meters of mercury (mm Hg) can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack by up to 10 per cent.”
