Hello everyone,
How are you today? Did you know that today is World Hypertension Day?
If you haven't seen it we've just published a new article on high blood pressure, its treatments and dietary measures: World Hypertension Day: Treatments and dietary requirements
Have you changed your diet diet or lifestyle in any way to help control your blood pressure? Are there any foods you avoid? Any habits or routines you've adopted?

Hi everyone,
After your diagnosis what lifestyle changes did you make? Anything unique that you feel helped?
I, like many, changed my diet. I started with the DASH diet and implemented some from new things from the WHOLE 360 diet and now am consuming a blend, but still focus on limiting saturated fats and bad cholesterol.
I also slowly completely quit smoking, which was not easy but I never smoked a whole bunch, but still quitting was not easy. I still drink sparingly, but much less than before.
I also started engaging in physical activity. I am now up to an hour 4 times a week!
Also one unique thing I think helped and that I did was began to enjoy relaxing time with my family and not focus on work stress or taking work home.
Would love to hear form you!
