February is American Heart Month, and with recently published research indicating blood pressure control has worsened in both men and woman since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we urge everyone to get a blood pressure screening. Revised blood pressure guidelines from American Heart Association mean that nearly half of all Americans (46%) have high blood pressure. High blood pressure is often referred to as “The Silent Killer” because there are typically no warning signs or symptoms.
While high blood pressure and heart disease are serious conditions, the good news is that a healthy heart is an achievable goal through lifestyle changes such as lowering sodium intake, eating healthier, and getting more physical activity. Getting help can be as easy as participating in programs at the Y.
The YMCA’s Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program helps adults with hypertension lower and better manage their blood pressure. The program focuses on regular monitoring of one’s blood pressure at home using proper measuring techniques, individualized support and nutrition education to potentially reduce blood pressure and improve their quality of life.
The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program – which is part of the CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program – helps adults adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles to help reduce their chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and people with diabetes are twice as likely to have heart disease or suffer a stroke than those who do not have it.
The YMCA's Weight Loss Program is designed to help adults seeking a healthier weight achieve their goals by making small changes to their daily behaviors and forming sustainable healthy habits. The 12-week program helps participants build skills for successful lifestyle changes, as opposed to advocating any specific or restrictive short term solution.
Whether you have high blood pressure, are at risk for heart disease, or want to keep your heart healthy, the Y has resources that can help you achieve your health and well-being goals. Learn more by exploring our healthy living programs or stopping into your local Y.
