Keeping your blood pressure in check is important for your health. If it’s too high, it can lead to serious conditions like stroke or heart disease.⁣
⁣
While medications like beta-blockers can help lower your blood pressure, did you know that you can also eat certain foods to help lower blood pressure?⁣
⁣
Antioxidant-rich foods may have a small impact on blood pressure levels. Foods high in vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium, selenium or L-arginine are good options if you’re looking to lower your blood pressure. Antioxidants protect your cells from damage and can reduce inflammation, which, in turn, can keep blood pressure managed.

In stroke care, Time is Brain.⁠
⁠
Every minute can mean the death of millions of neurons — our brain’s fragile, critical cells that control our every function. But it takes time to determine if a patient is experiencing a stroke and, if so, what kind of stroke they are having, before any treatment can be given. When it comes to improving stroke care, anything that can speed up the process of identifying and addressing the condition can have an enormous impact on patient recovery.⁠
⁠
Enter: Artificial intelligence (AI). At , clinicians are using AI algorithms to speed up stroke detection and diagnosis and coordinate care teams to get patients the treatment they need sooner, saving millions of brain cells and improving patient outcomes.⁠

Today is World Hypertension Day. Healthcare providers measure your blood pressure at your yearly check-ups and other appointments. This lets them see if it’s normal or too high. They’ll diagnose you with hypertension if your numbers are high at two separate visits (with at least two readings taken each time).⁣
⁣
There are two main stages of hypertension:⁣
⁣
Stage 1 means your top number is in the 130s, or your bottom number is in the 80s.⁣
⁣
Stage 2 means your top number is 140 or higher, or your bottom number is 90 or higher.⁣
⁣
On either end of these stages, there are other categories that providers use to guide treatment decisions:⁣
⁣🔴Elevated blood pressure is blood pressure that’s a bit above normal but not yet diagnosed as hypertension.⁣

🔴Severe hypertension is dangerously high blood pressure that’s not yet causing organ damage.⁣
⁣
🔴A hypertensive emergency is dangerously high blood pressure that’s damaging your organs. It causes symptoms and is a medical emergency.
