As we close out the month of May, and the fun of the summer starts to ramp up, don’t forget that a healthy blood pressure is essential for healthy hearts. A blood pressure higher than 130/80 mm Hg can cause serious health problems such as Heart Disease, Stroke, Kidney Disease and Dementia. Be proactive with your health and have your blood pressure checked. Things like diet, stress, genetics, and more can affect an individual’s blood pressure readings, so make sure to speak to your medical provider to see what options are best for you for keeping your BP in a healthy range!
