REDUCE THE PRESSURE

High blood pressure (hypertension) is dangerous because it makes the heart work too hard.

• Increase intake of fruit, veg and whole grains
• Reduce intake of saturated fats (meat, cheese, cakes, biscuits, chips, etc.)
• Reduce intake of salt and sodium
• Drink alcohol in moderation (units / wk women = 7, men=14)
• Lose weight (losing just 10lbs will have a positive impact)
• Exercise regularly (30 minutes of moderate-level physical activity on most days of the week)
