High Blood Pressure and Women
February is American Heart Month, and The Henkes Welsh Agency would like to touch on an extremely important subject; High Blood Pressure in women.
According to The American Heart Association, nearly half of all adults with high blood pressure are women. Beginning at age 65, after the onset of menopause, women are actually more likely to have this disease than men.
There are eight main ways you can control your blood pressure.
They are:
- Eat a better diet, which may include reducing your salt intake
- Enjoy regular physical activity
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Manage your stress
- Avoid tobacco smoke
- Understand hot tub safety
- Comply with prescribed medication(s)
- If you drink, limit your alcohol
