Hi Lynn! Is there a way to see this by county? It would be interesting to see what the cases are like across the state vs. the state as a whole.

Hi Dorian!
Thanks for commenting..
I will look around and see if I can find by county cases and rates. If I am able I will post the source. Lynn

Stage 1: Systolic between 130-139 or diastolic between 80-89;
Stage 2: Systolic at least 140 or diastolic at least 90 mm…[Read more]-
Thanks for sharing that information, Lynn! It’s important to get that info out to people, especially since the 120/80 was the “gold standard” for years. I was shocked to hear this at my last physical. Do you know if there is any local data available on the number of newly diagnosed hypertension cases since the update? It would be interesting to…[Read more]

So if I am reading this correctly Lynn, those with “elevated” BPs (systolics >120 but < 130) should have accurate repeat measurement to be certain, and in addition, integrate lifestyle changes so that they do not progress into Stage 1 hypertension or beyond? With lifestyle changes alone, many would be able to get out of the hypertension pipeline.

People who are physically active live longer and have a lower risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and some cancers.

I agree, and physical activity can help reduce the level of pain in some common conditions.
-
Another unexpected benefit to physical activity such as walking which I have found especially useful as an artist is that it gets me “out of my head space” for a while. The change of scenery and activity renews not only physical energy, but also helps me to think about a problem or project from a new point of view. It stimulates creative…[Read more]
