STAY POSITIVE - A healthy mind goes hand in hand

with a healthy body. Daily relaxation techniques such as

meditation and yoga may be just what you need to alleviate

stress. Keep your mind focused on the positive things in life.

WATCH YOUR WEIGHT - Sometimes just a

small amount of weight loss may have a positive effect on

your blood pressure. If you have already started exercising

and eating healthier, the weight loss may just happen on its

own!

REMEMBER: Consult your physician before you start or

Why Should I Monitor My Blood Pressure At Home?

By monitoring at home you can manage your health care

between visits to the doctor. Also, you now have the means

to keep a record of your blood pressure measurements, a

valuable tool for both you and your healthcare provider.

Home monitoring may help alleviate White Coat

Hypertension. This term refers to what may cause a per-

son's blood pressure to be higher when taken in a medical

setting. At times the stress of just being in a doctor's office

may cause blood pressure to rise. When monitoring at

home you may get a truer indication of your blood pressure

because you are in a relaxed, comfortable space.

What is Blood Pressure?

The term "blood pressure" refers to the force or pressure

that is exerted on the body's arteries as blood flows through

them. Each time the heart beats or contracts, it produces

pressure in the arteries. This blood pressure is what moves

blood through the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to

every organ.
