Insights into Health Indicators and Sugar's Impact on Blood Pressure
Health indicators such as ALT levels, uric acid, and fasting insulin can provide valuable insights into one's health. ALT levels above 25 for Caucasians and 20 for African Americans may indicate fatty liver disease. Uric acid can increase due to both red meat and sugar intake, impacting blood pressure by inhibiting endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Sugar, rather than salt, plays a more significant role in hypertension and insulin resistance, contributing to high blood pressure.
