Five Things You Can do to Better to Control High Blood Pressure*

May is National Blood Pressure Month and in honor of this tribute, we have put together five ways to control high blood pressure. But before we get to these five handy tips, it’s important to understand what blood pressure is, what it should be, and why individuals should strive for a lower blood pressure.

National Nutrition Month

March is National Nutrition Month. There’s no better time to discover the importance of balanced nutrition and apply it to your unique lifestyle. There’s no singular, “perfect” diet that’s right for everyone, so it’s crucial to follow a helpful eating plan that’s packed with healthy foods and keeps your unique lifestyle in mind.

Loving You Isn’t So Hard To Do

On Valentine’s Day, it’s customary to take a little extra time to make someone in your life feel special, loved and cared for. It’s important to show our appreciation for the friends and family in our lives, but it’s incredibly important for each of us to show ourselves self-love, as well. Most of us spend a lot of time taking care of family, friends, our jobs and our homes, frequently overlooking our own individual needs. Many of us take better care of our cars than we do ourselves. Caring about our overall health and practicing balanced living, including proper nutrition, is a form of self-love that can make each of us look and feel great, inside and out.
