Have you had your Blood Pressure check lately?

Did you know…

    • Anyone can develop Hypertension and African Americans are at a higher risk than any other ethnic group.
    • The Good News is that Hypertension can be controlled and prevented.
    • High Blood Pressure/Hypertension is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the blood bessels. Pressure maintained at a good rate should be 120/80.
    • When your blood pressure is high, your heart has to work  harder o pump blood through all parts of your body.
    • Hypertension is called the silent killer because most people feel healthy, and do not know that have it.

Come and have your blood pressure check every 5th Sunday in the St. James Wellness Center.
