According to the American Heart Association, nearly one-half of adults have high blood pressure. And while most people know blood pressure returns two numbers, do you know what they mean?

🫀 Systolic (the first number) measures the pressure against the artery walls with each heartbeat.

🫀Diastolic (the lower number) measures the pressure between beats.

An elevated reading in either number can be used to diagnose high blood pressure. If your reading shows an elevated blood pressure, our providers will work with you to design a treatment plan which may include lifestyle modifications and/or medication. To schedule an appointment, call us at 522-1341.

Did you know that once upon a time, walnuts were only served to royals? We're not sure when that changed, but it's a good thing for us non-royals, since they provide numerous health benefits:

❤️ They contain the omega-3 fatty acid ALA, which reduces inflammation and may help reduce the risk of heart disease
🧠 They may improve brain function and slow mental decline
💩 They improve gut health
📉 They lower the risk of certain cancers

What's your favorite way to eat them?
