                               World Hypertension Day 2015 - 17 May

We Celebrate World Hypertension Day (WHD) like most people like to call it, on 17 May every year and this year is no different, contribute to improving awareness of Hypertension everywhere you go. Hi there, my name is Vien and this is City Health Tips for The Family 800.

For the five-year period 2013-2018, the theme of World Hypertension Day has been ‘Know Your Numbers’ with the goal of increasing high blood pressure awareness in all populations around the world.

Now to increase awareness of hypertension… my health care doctors Dr. Olaniyan Samson and Dr. Eze, say diagnosis is key, and there are two critical components which are:

 1) Establish high capacity community screening programs for blood pressure in those at risk an

 2) Have all health care professionals routinely assess blood pressure at all clinical encounters. 

World Hypertension Day 2015 was celebrated by people all through the world, Sunday May 17^th and in celebration I asked Dr. Samson and Dr. Eze to share their ultimate tip when it comes to care for hypertension here is what they had to say:

To avoid a hypertension diagnosis, make these healthy lifestyle choices:
 

1.     Maintain a healthy weight. When it comes to hypertension prevention, cos your weight is crucial, says the Dr’s

2.     Eat a balanced diet. ...

3.     Cut back on salt. ...

4.     Exercise regularly. ...

5.     Limit the alcohol you take ...

6.     Monitor your blood pressure.

        But above all, do know that hypertension, the medical condition is called a silent killer as well cos it does not show any clear symptoms however, chose a healthy lifestyle now while you can to prevent having it. Also make sure you catch the live show in the morning, see yah!
