Visit your Laborers Health & Wellness Clinic!

Your heart is amazing. It sends blood, oxygen, and nutrients to every part of your body! However, all this takes place behind the scenes without you noticing, so it’s easy to forget your heart needs help to work properly. Checking your blood pressure and cholesterol regularly, exercising, eating a heart-healthy diet, and maintaining a healthy weight are all necessary steps in keeping your heart healthy. You should also take any medication your doctor has prescribed.

Is high blood pressure a big deal?

It’s normal for your blood pressure to go up and down throughout the day, but if it stays high, you may be at greater risk of a stroke or heart attack. High blood pressure (called hypertension) is not always noticeable so it is important to check it regularly. The good news is that there are many ways to treat high blood pressure. Losing weight (if needed), eating less sodium, exercising regularly, and limiting alcohol may be enough to get your blood pressure under control. If not, you might also need to take medication.

Visit your Laborers Health & Wellness Clinic for blood pressure and cholesterol checks. Many health concerns get pushed aside during the pandemic, but your heart can’t be one of them.
