What can be done to reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure? The answer is very simple - change bad habits. The key to success is to realise that the state of our health largely depends on us. It is also important to follow a few rules that can not only prevent the onset of the disease, but also significantly reduce the pressure in a person who already has this condition.
Another extremely important determinant of success is physical activity. Let's replace the time spent in front of the TV with a long walk, a bike ride or sign up at the gym. You can get the whole family involved and motivate each other. This will enable us not only to improve our health, but also to spend time creatively with our loved ones.
Excessive stress also has a huge impact on our blood pressure. Let's fight it. Let's take some time to relax and find a relaxing activity that allows us to forget, at least for a while, about the increasing problems of everyday life.

National Blood Pressure Week - your time to make a difference.
How and when to implement all the necessary changes to our lifestyle? National Blood Pressure Measurement Week, scheduled from 11 to 17 May, is fast approaching. This is a good time for us to start the journey together towards getting rid of all bad habits. It is a small price to pay, considering that we only have one life and what it looks like depends on us.
