It Is Time To Check

High blood pressure is known as "the silent killer" because it rarely has any signs or symptoms until serious damage is already done. Experts estimate that as many as 1/3 of Americans have elevated blood pressure and do not even know it. Uncontrolled #hypertension (high blood pressure) is the leading cause of #stroke. Do not wait until the killer strikes--have your blood pressure checked, and maintain a healthy #weight, regular #exercise and balanced #plant diet to keep the killer at bay. (an apple a day keeps the doctor away!) #highbloodpressure #lifestylemedicine
