I also have the privilege of teaching!

I've been trying to upload this with my video for the past two weeks. So, here we are because for some reason it wouldn't allow the voice... long post but much needed information!

Here is a picture from the American Heart Association teamed up with the American College of Cardiology. They updated the blood pressure guidelines a few years ago and lowered the threshold for blood pressure, in hopes to get people diagnosed sooner to get them on a healthier path sooner.

High blood pressure is when the force of blood circulating is harder to get through your arteries and/or there is resistance that it meets trying to perfuse the body is too high.

When you are in the elevated range you are to start lifestyle changes:
Diet- decrease salt intake, eat less processed foods, less prepacked foods, exercise 30 minutes daily
Check your blood pressure more often than not

Hypertension is called the silent killer because most people don't know they have it until it's too late: stroke, heart attack, aneurysm, kidney disease.

Stage 2 is when medications are typically started along with lifestyle changes.

The only way to know if you have hypertension is to get your blood pressure checked. See your provider, come see us!

Diabetes is a disease where Type 1, you produce no insulin or
Type 2 you produce insulin but not enough, or your body doesn't use it properly.

Type 2 diabetes affects a high percentage of black community, almost double that of non-hispanic whites, and is expected to increase by 2030 at alarming rates.

If you have diabetes you should get A1C checks at least every 3 months, this can vary based on how well controlled your diabetes is. This test tells you how controlled your diabeteshas been over the past 2-3 months. The goal is to have an A1C

It's October! Don't forget to get your mammogram.
Early detection saves lives.

Fun fact: I've been getting mammograms since I was 36, which is well before age 40. This is due to initially having pain in the breast, but when they tallied my overall lifetime chance of developing breast cancer- based on family history, I've been getting mammograms ever since.

You can start early, too, if you are at higher risk of breast cancer and your insurance will cover it.

Breast self exams are also helpful. Breast self-exam is to familiarize yourself with your breasts to what is normal for your breast. This helps you to identify any abnormalities. If changes are noted, follow up with your P*P.

If you are menstruating, the self exam should be done a few days after you menstrate, otherwise you should do the self exam on the same day each month.

Putting in work to ensure God's plan is carried out. NOLA Health and Wellness was able to speak to residents about the services we can offer them within the facility. In the process, we were able to make connections and was offered to come back because the food was good... and they want to play bingo, lol.

We'll be back!

Thank you and for helping.
