Did you know? Men are more likely to develop high blood pressure than women, increasing their risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Factors like age, family history, and lifestyle contribute to this likelihood. However, there are ways to stay healthy:
– Monitor your blood pressure regularly
– Exercise regularly (aim for 30 minutes, 5 days a week)
– Maintain a healthy weight
– Eat a balanced diet (focus on whole foods, fruits, and vegetables)
– Limit sodium intake
– Manage stress
– Get enough sleep (7-8 hours per night)
– Limit alcohol consumption
By taking control of these factors, men can reduce their risk of high blood pressure and maintain overall health and well-being.
