High blood presure

Lale, I have high blood pressure, but I have it under control with medication and its enough. Did you know that 1 in 3 adults suffer of high blood pressure?? Hypertension does not have any early symptoms, that is why, it can little by little affect your kidneys, heart and other organs until the stroke happens. To avoid this, you should have a physician checkup every 2 years, if not you should go to pharmacies for a checkup or buy a home pressure gauge. Now, returning to the myth, let me tell you that in order to maintain our blood pressure within the limits, frequently, we have to take medication, of course there are different cases. However, it is mandatory in order to control this condition to also change your lifestyle. If you have hypertension try to: 1. Reduce your sodium intake, cook fresh food and avoid processed or canned foods. 2. Avoid using extra salt on your food, use natural condiments, vegetables or spices to enhance food flavor. 3. Avoid processed sauces for example ketchup or soy sauce. 4. Aim your goal in achieving and maintaining the ideal weight or close to it. 5. If you smoke, organize your mind and body to QUIT smoking (nowadays there are many ways to achieve this, it all depends on your attitude). 6. Finally, limit your alcohol consumption overall. BE SUCCESSFUL!!
