High Blood Presure Education Month is observed in May to raise consciousness about the importance of spreading the word about this condition.
High blood pressure is a major cause of coronary heart disease and stroke and contributes significantly to kidney disease, especially in older Americans and an estimated 50 million Americans have high blood pressure and two-thirds of those who have it are aware of their condition, but despite great progress, only about one in four persons with hypertension are controlling their condition.
People with uncontrolled high blood pressure risk premature illness or death from stroke, coronary heart disease, or kidney failure and people who effectively control the condition can lead normal, healthy lives. Scientific evidence now shows that lifestyle changes of salt reduction, eating more fruits and vegetables, weight reduction, alcohol reduction, and increased physical activity can not only help control hypertension but also prevent blood pressure from rising.
