Managing Cholestrol & Blood Pressure

Service Description

Managing cholesterol and blood pressure is essential for maintaining a healthy heart and preventing life-threatening conditions like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease. High cholesterol, especially elevated LDL (bad cholesterol), can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, while high blood pressure puts excess strain on blood vessels, increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications. A heart-healthy lifestyle—including a balanced diet rich in fiber, healthy fats, and low in sodium, along with regular physical activity, weight management, and stress reduction—plays a crucial role in controlling both. Quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, and regularly monitoring your levels further enhance heart health. In some cases, medications like statins for cholesterol and antihypertensive drugs for blood pressure may be prescribed to maintain optimal levels. Early intervention and consistent lifestyle changes are key to long-term health and vitality.
