Samsung Healthcare, a global leader dedicated to the technological advancement of blood pressure monitors, has partnered with Dr. Mary Ann Malloy, to recommend the following tips on how to help women reduce high blood pressure and makeover their heart-health. Eat Wisely - Follow a low-fat, low-salt, high-nutrient diet: Eat generous portions of fruits and vegetables; Choose lean meats such as skinless chicken breast; Eat hearty-grains such as whole wheat breads, brown rice and wheat pasta; Try oatmeal, low-fat yogurt and/or cholesterol-free egg whites for breakfast; Keep salt intake to less than 1500mg per day.
Aim For Ideal Weight - Count calories and don't fall for fad diets. No one food group causes obesity. Try to attain and maintain the ideal weight for your height and age and avoid yo-yo dieting.
Stay Active - Women should exercise and/or participate in some sort of cardiovascular activity for at least 30 minutes per day. To start, try taking the stairs or run errands by foot. 10,000 steps a day is a good way to go.
Don't Binge Drink - Avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. Limit alcohol to one drink or less a day if you choose to imbibe. However, experts say that a glass of red wine with dinner can in fact improve one's heart-health.
Don't Smoke - Tobacco increases heart rate while also hardening and constricting blood vessels. Kick the habit once and for all. Women who smoke are four times more likely to have a heart attack.
Relax - The more stressed you are, the higher your pressure can go. Meditate, take yoga and relax!
Monitor Your Heart-Health - Purchase a home blood pressure monitor and start tracking your readings. Normal blood pressure is defined as a reading of 120/80mm Hg. In-between readings, 120-139/80-89, are described as pre-hypertension. Recent reports from the American Heart Association, Mayo Clinic and Canadian reports stress that home blood pressure monitoring leads to better, faster blood pressure control.
Now, thanks to recent advancements in technology, women can purchase reliable, accurate and affordable over-the-counter devices that automatically measure blood pressure at home at the touch of a button. Some of the latest arm and wrist monitors in the marketplace include digital and self-inflating features that are easy for every consumer to use.
