How’s your blood pressure?

Keeping track of your blood pressure is an important step in looking after your health. High blood pressure often develops without any obvious signs or symptoms, yet it can increase the risk of serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Monitoring your blood pressure regularly can help you understand your health and make informed choices to keep it under control.

Ways to support healthy blood pressure include:

• Following a healthy, balanced diet and cutting back on salt
• Being physically active on a regular basis
• Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight
• Limiting alcohol intake and avoiding smoking
• Finding healthy ways to manage stress

Even small, positive changes to your daily routine can have lasting benefits for your health.
