Meanwhile, Google users in the United States had a lot of questions about blood pressure, the keto diet and hiccups in 2019.
According to CNN, those topics were among the three most-searched health-related questions on the search engine this year, according to new data from Google.The list was based on search terms collected between January and early December.
For 2019, here are the top three health-related questions people Googled -- along with the answers.
1. How to lower blood pressure
About 1 in 3 US adults -- or some 75 million people -- have high blood pressure and only 54% have it under control, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Eating a healthy diet with less sodium and more potassium, losing weight, getting more exercise and relieving stress can all help lower blood pressure, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.The health benefits of controlling blood pressure include reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke and even dementia.
2. What is keto?
When searching for information on the ketogenic diet, most people just use the word "keto," for short. The diet is high in fats, moderate in proteins and very low in carbs, and forces the body into a state known as ketosis. Ketosis causes the body to break down ingested and stored body fat into molecules called ketones, which are then used as energy.
3. How to get rid of hiccups
A question about what causes hiccups topped Google's list of trending health-related questions in 2017 -- and now, in 2019, how to get rid of hiccups ranked third. Hiccups seem to start and stop for no obvious reason, but the US National Library of Medicine notes that hiccups often happen when something irritates your diaphragm, such as eating too quickly, drinking alcohol, feeling nervous or excited or taking certain medicines.
