New blog post alert!

You don’t need to check your blood pressure only if you’ve been diagnosed with hypertension. Studies show that regular accurate BP checks don’t only help hypertensives properly manage the condition, they also help in early detection of undiagnosed patients. Besides, blood pressure readings are...

You don’t have to be diagnosed with hypertension before you start checking your blood pressure. Check regularly with a blood pressure device of your own, or at a clinic or pharmacy near you.

Perfectionism: holding yourself to impossibly high standards so that nothing you do ever seems to be good enough.

The thing about it though is that perfectionism can be so cleverly masked as high performance, busyness or procrastination that you may not notice it’s there. It can manifest as anxiety, depression, chronic stress, lack of self-love, sleep disturbances, eating disorders, co-dependence, overcompensation, controlling behaviour, unwillingness to try for fear of failure, low self esteem, amongst others.

Know that you’re human first, with flaws and weaknesses, just as much as you have strengths. Bask in the knowledge of the full you and learn to appreciate yourself just as you are. Seek help from your support system or a professional when things become so overwhelming, your quality of life is affected.

It’s World Hypertension Day today! And there’s no better time to remind ourselves that hypertension has no symptoms, that’s why it’s called The Silent Killer.

Best way is to monitor your blood pressure regularly. Walk into any day, any time, for a free blood pressure check.

Prevention is better than cure.

Raise high the flag of Ghana
And one with Africa advance
Black star of hope and honour,
To all who thirst for liberty
Where the banner of Ghana freely flies
May the way of freedom truly lie
Arise, arise, O sons of Ghanaland
And under God, march on forevermore

It’s the month of March! How’re you doing so far with your 2023 health goals? For most people, as the year progresses, we begin to lose the vim to continue pursuing our objectives. Especially if it seems you aren’t getting results at the rate or pace you want. Motivation though is only one aspect of the fuel you need to achieve your dreams.

Habit. With habit, you grow in your pursuit of wellness to such an extent that your body and mind become subconsciously geared to do it when it’s time. It becomes a part of you. So, for example, drinking water regularly becomes a habit so that when you don’t drink enough, your mind and body prompts you automatically. Eating well and regularly becomes a habit: your mind prompts you when you get out of sync. Taking your medication on time…etc etc. You gerrit?

This month, aspire to developing habits that will propel your into achieving your health goals. Stay tuned for tips on how to develop healthy habits to keep you motivated.

Happy New Month! Your Wellness, Our Expertise!

Let’s stay cautious and adhere to the cautions and protocols ☝️

Breakfast is an important meal but it doesn’t have to be large, fancy or expensive. Good breakfast helps put your mind and body in the right state for the day ahead.

If you’re not a fan of the “English” kind of breakfast, that’s fine. Just remember that no matter what you choose to have:

1. More doesn’t necessarily mean best. Moderate your portions
2. Opt for healthier alternatives with more veggies, fruits and less fatty portions
3. Plan ahead. You’re more likely to have healthier meals when you plan for them instead of when you wait till you’re hungry to decide.
