BE HAPPY! - A positive attitude is a big part of a healthy body. Try not to get too stressed out over things. Daily relaxation techniques such as gentle yoga or even quiet time by yourself can do a lot of good for the mind and body. Stay focused on the good things in life. Begin by congratulating yourself for that short walk you just took or the smart food choice you made. It’s your first step to a healthier life!

KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR WEIGHT! - Surprisingly, losing even a small amount of weight can often times help control high blood pressure. Talk with your doctor to find a “healthy” weight for you and strive to come within a range of it.

Remember to consult your physician prior to beginning exercise, vitamin/mineral, dietary changes or programs and blood pressure monitoring.

About Blood Pressure

Why Should I Monitor My Blood Pressure At Home? By monitoring at home, you may manage your health between doc- tor visits. Home monitoring also provides you with a record of blood pressure measurements over time to give to your doctor - a valuable tool in monitoring hypertension.

Home monitoring may also help alleviate White Coat Hypertension. This term refers to the medical phenomena which causes many individuals’ blood pressure to be higher when taken in a medical office setting. That’s because many times the stress of being in the doctor’s office may cause blood pressure to rise as much as 20-50 points higher than normal. When monitoring at home, you may get a truer indication of your blood pressure in a normal, relaxed state.

What Is Blood Pressure?

The commonly used term “blood pressure” refers to the force or pressure that is exerted on the body’s arteries as blood flows through them. Each time the heart beats or contracts it produces pressure in the arteries. This blood pressure is what moves blood through the

body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to every organ.
