🩺 Today is World Hypertension Day – a vital reminder of the silent threat affecting over 1 billion people globally.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often called the “silent killer” because it typically has no symptoms but can lead to serious health complications like heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure.
🔍 This year’s theme, “Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer”, reinforces the importance of regular monitoring and early intervention.
💡 A few small steps can make a big impact:
Eat a balanced, low-sodium diet 🥗
Stay active 🚶♂️
Limit alcohol & tobacco 🚭
Manage stress 🧘♀️
Monitor your blood pressure regularly at home or with a professional 📏
Let’s raise awareness, encourage prevention, and support healthier hearts around the world.
