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

EXERCISE REGULARLY - Start out by taking a short 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 hearts 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 because about one-third of individuals who have high blood pressure are also sodium sensitive.

Healthy Living

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.
