🚗 Long daily commutes can raise your risk for hypertension. Why?
∙ Sitting for long periods in traffic = less physical activity.
∙ Stress from driving = higher blood pressure and heart strain.
💭 Add in daily stress—financial worries, relationship struggles, or not having time for fun activities—and your blood pressure can remain elevated over time.
🎶 Tip: Balance stress with activities you enjoy like music, jogging, swimming, or simply spending time with loved ones.
📖 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
