New hypertension guidelines have come out from the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology. According to these new guidelines, having a blood pressure of 120/80 is no longer good enough; we should now be lower than that to be in the normal range. This has dramatic implications: nearly half of American adults now have high blood pressure and increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
With this new understanding of hypertension, we must also rethink our approach to preventing and treating hypertension. Join us to learn about the new hypertension guidelines, the implications for your health, and how you can prevent and treat hypertension naturally through the power of lifestyle medicine.
This presentation is part of Let Lifestyle Be Your Medicine, a 6-part series on the power of lifestyle medicine hosted by Pathways to Wholeness Lifestyle Medicine Centre and the Mount. Gilead Seventh-day Adventist Church.
