Increased fluid intake and blood pressure in healthy children: a randomized controlled trial. The SPA Project
An increased fluid intake may prevent the age-related increase of blood pressure in healthy children. We believe this may be due to more efficient sodium excretion by the kidneys. This simple, highly acceptable, inexpensive, and harmless intervention has the potential to prevent or lessen the prevalence of hypertension and associated illnesses both in adults and children.
