Greetings!
February is Hearth Healthy Month
It's never too late to make lifestyle changes toward healthier cardiovascular health. Controlling blood pressure is just one of them.
You can have high blood pressure, or hypertension, and still feel just fine. That is because high blood pressure does not cause signs of illness that you can see or feel. But, high blood pressure, sometimes called "the silent killer," is a major health problem. If high blood pressure isn't controlled with lifestyle changes and medicine, it can lead to stroke, heart disease, eye problems, or kidney failure.

 Partners in Senior Care is dedicated to assisting seniors and
their families. Sometimes the difference between successful aging and
problematic aging is knowledge. For this reason we have developed the Care Connection monthly series. The Care Connection will provide information that is seasonally appropriate for seniors.
Need a speaker or presentation? We have speakers available to present on any of our Care Connection topics. Just call Angie at 847-548-1330 Visit our website for downloadable factsheets on Blood Pressure |
