High blood pressure often has no symptoms at all, yet over time it raises the risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney problems. That is why regular checks are so important — especially if you are over 40 or have a family history.
Everyday changes that help
- Use less salt when cooking and at the table.
- Eat plenty of vegetables, fruit and whole grains.
- Be active for at least 30 minutes on most days.
- Limit alcohol and stop smoking.
- Take your medicine every day, even when you feel well.
