Purchasing this blood pressure monitor is your first step in living
a healthier life, but it is only the beginning. It is also important
to:
STAY ACTIVE -Start out by taking just a short walk each
day. Over time you'll begin to feel more energetic. Walking is a
fun, easy way to help lose weight and also aids in building
stronger bones and a healthier heart!
EAT HEALTHY -Adding more fruits and vegetables to your
diet is a great way to start. Also, look at incorporating more
whole grains, fish and low fat dairy products and keep a check
on your sodium intake. If you're using a blood pressure monitor,
you should already be aware of how sodium can affect your
blood pressure. You may want to explore the potential benefits
of certain botanicals such as onion and garlic. As always, con-
sult your physician before beginning any dietary changes.
