- Tips for maintaining healthy blood pressure
Maintaining healthy blood pressure involves consistent lifestyle habits and regular health checkups. Key recommendations include:
Maintain a healthy weight: Aim for a body mass index (BMI) within the normal range to reduce strain on your heart and vessels.
Follow a heart-healthy diet: Emphasize fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting salt, saturated fats, and added sugars.
Engage in regular physical activity: At least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week helps
