Measure Blood Pressure
Studies have proven that having high blood pressure is the leading cause of heart disease. It can lead to hypertensive heart disease, meaning that the heart is thickened and arteries are narrowed. The American Heart Association advocates strongly that high blood pressure should be at the very top of your healthcare priorities list. Even if you don’t have high blood pressure at the moment, you should always be working to avoid it.

Always Check Up On Yourself
Just because you haven’t had health problems in the past doesn’t mean you don’t need to worry about having health problems in the future. If you haven’t been monitoring your blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood sugar for over a year, you should. It’s recommended to check your blood pressure once a year, blood sugar once every 3 years, and cholesterol once every 4-6 years. Never assume your body isn’t at risk of these diseases. Just because you seem healthy doesn’t mean you don’t have to monitor health risks.
