Checking your blood pressure regularly is one of the simplest ways to detect hypertension early – but how you measure it matters.

Before taking your blood pressure, avoid smoking, exercise, caffeine and alcohol for at least 30 minutes. Sit upright, rest your arm at heart level, keep your feet flat on the floor, and stay calm and quiet during the reading.

Across the Western Pacific Region, millions of people live with high blood pressure without knowing it.

Check your pressure. Protect your future.

May is observed as 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is known as the “silent killer” because it often has no symptoms but, if left uncontrolled, can lead to serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.

Unhealthy eating habits, excessive intake of salty, fatty, and sugary foods, physical inactivity, stress, obesity, and family history are common risk factors for hypertension. The good news is that hypertension can be prevented and managed through healthy lifestyle practices and regular blood pressure monitoring.

• Limit the intake of foods high in salt, fat, and sugar.
• Eat more fruits and vegetables every day by following Pinggang Pinoy.
• Stay physically active by engaging in at least 20–30 minutes of exercise daily.
• Manage stress through proper rest, relaxation, and healthy coping activities.
• Get enough sleep and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol intake.
• Have your blood pressure checked regularly, especially if hypertension runs in the family.

Small, consistent healthy habits can greatly help prevent hypertension and its complications. Start today by choosing healthier foods, staying active, and regularly monitoring your blood pressure.
