High house pressure, or hypertension, can lead to heart attacks and blow but research suggests teens who are at risk of developing hypertension can use their diets to help their hearts.

According to Reuter's Health, it was reported in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine that while many studies name salt as a culprit when it arises to hypertension, Dr. Bonita Falkner and her team from Thomas Jefferson University institute vitamins like folic acid can withhold teens from developing high line pressure.

Teens can eat more fruits and veggies to acquire the folic acid they ne and Falkner also prompted adolescents add low-fat dairy and grains to their diets.
