The Internet plays a big part in human life.We use it for work and pleasure.We use it to learn a new language.We find advice on it.We use it to connect with family and friends.We use it to stay in touch with events we care about.The list goes on and on.
Well，that__train__has__left__the__station．But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health？It might be，researchers say.A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure(血压)in an unlikely group：teenagers.
High blood pressure makes your heart and blood vessels(血管)work too hard.Over time，this extra pressure increases your risk of a heart attack.High blood pressure can also cause heart and kidney(肾脏)disease.It is also closely linked to a brain disease.
The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit，Michigan did the study.335 young people from 14 to 17 years old，took part in it.134 of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users〞. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens，26 had high blood pressure.
The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy－Bushrow.She said，“Using the Internet is part of our daily life，but it shouldn’t ruin us.〞 Ms. Cassidy－Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take regular breaks from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physical activity.She also suggests that parents limit(限制)their children’s use of the Internet to two hours a day，five days a week.
