Understanding High Blood Pressure: The “Silent Killer”

Heart health isn’t just about genetics—your daily habits play a major role in keeping your heart strong and disease-free. The good news? Small, consistent changes can make a big difference.

  1. Move More: Just 30 minutes of moderate activity five times a week—like walking, cycling, or swimming—can significantly lower your risk of heart disease.

  2. Eat Smart: Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit sodium, added sugars, and saturated fats to help control blood pressure and cholesterol.

  3. Quit Smoking: If you smoke, quitting is the single most powerful step you can take for your heart. Within a year of quitting, your risk of heart disease drops dramatically.

  4. Manage Stress: Chronic stress can raise blood pressure and contribute to heart problems. Try mindfulness, deep breathing, or regular physical activity to help you manage daily pressures.

  5. Get Regular Check-Ups: Knowing your numbers—blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose—can help you and your doctor catch issues early.
