About High Blood Pressure Education Month
United States
Ends: May 31, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
May is High Blood Pressure Education Month. Being physically active is one of the most important steps you can take to prevent or control high blood pressure, but it doesn't have to mean sweating, puffing, and panting. Finding time to "exercise" may be easier than you thought.
The National High Blood Pressure Education Program (NHBPEP), established in 1972, is a cooperative effort among professional and voluntary health agencies, State health departments, and many community groups. The NHBPEP is administered and coordinated by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The goal of the NHBPEP is to reduce death and disability related to high blood pressure through programs of professional, patient, and public education.
Activities you already do such as gardening, spring cleaning and painting, mowing the lawn, raking leaves, playing with young children, and walking, can improve your heart health.
All you need are 30 minutes at most, preferably daily. You even can divide it up – as long as you do at least 10 minutes at any one time.
For more information on high blood pressure and moderate activities to help you control it, visit the NHLBI's high blood pressure education program Web site: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/hbp/index.html
