Healthy Living

This blood pressure monitor is the first step to living a healthier life. But monitoring your blood pressure at home is just the begin- ning, it’s also important to:

EXERCISE REGULARLY - Start out by taking a quick walk each day. Before you know it, you’ll feel energized. That’s because along with being an easy way to shed a few pounds, walking also helps bones and heart to become stronger.

EAT RIGHT - Remember, you are what you eat! So when you reach for a snack, try grabbing a piece of fruit or a vegetable. When cooking meals at home try to use fats and oils sparingly. Sometimes a healthy diet is the best medicine of all! It’s also a good idea to monitor your sodium intake since about one-third of individuals who have high blood pressure are also sodium sen- sitive. Consult your doctor regarding over-the-counter supple- ments and herbs such as onion and garlic.

Both of these plants have been historically linked to producing mild anti-hypertension effects.
