Blood Pressure 101 PowerPoint and Handout Lesson

When you need to look your very best now...

Blood pressure is a confusing topic. There are two numbers, and it tends to change each time you take it. And if all of that is not confusing enough, there are three different categories for blood pressure. Our show goes over the basics and helps everyone see how easy it is to understand what it is, how it is measured, what their numbers mean, and, best of all, how to lower it. Blood Pressure 101 is a must for anyone who has prehypertension or hypertension. And it is a very good idea for those who want to keep their blood pressure normal. Hypertension is a major risk factor for senility, which can take the fun out of one's later years. Hypertension is the #1 risk factor for stroke, which is the #1 reason people go into a nursing home for the rest of their lives.
