💙 Let’s Talk About Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) 🩺
Hypertension is one of the most common health problems today, but many people don’t even know they have it because it often has no early symptoms. That’s why it is sometimes called the “silent killer.”
⚠️ Why you should care:
It increases the risk of stroke, kidney failure, and heart disease.
It can affect any age, not just older people.
Stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and family history are major risk factors.
✅ Simple steps to help prevent/manage it:
Reduce excess salt in your meals 🧂❌
Eat more fruits & vegetables 🍎🥦
Exercise at least 30 mins a day 🚶♀️
Avoid smoking & too much alcohol 🚭
Check your blood pressure regularly 🩸
💡 Remember, prevention is always better than cure!
