Around 30% of people in the UK have high blood pressure. Though more than half of them are over 60, a large number are much younger and often have no idea they suffer from the condition.

The best way to verify your blood pressure is to have it checked by a nurse, pharmacist or GP. It is a simple test that doesn’t take long and will reduce the risks of having a heart attack or a stroke.

Exercising for at least 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week (even if it only means going for a walk), as well as eating healthy, are the two easiest ways to reduce your blood pressure.

So hit the gym, follow our healthy recipes and reduce your risks of high blood pressure with BodyPower. It’s that easy!
