According to studies, 1 out of 3 American adults has high blood pressure. Approximately 75 million is an alarming figure because high blood pressure is considered a silent killer nowadays. An elevated BP level comes without persistent symptoms. However, it can cause dangerous complications that can affect other organs including the heart, brain and kidneys!

Many seniors who discover that they have high blood pressure need more assistance and care in dealing with their condition than younger people. Fortunately, there are many ways to control, manage, and even fight this condition.

We listed the following ways to help you deal with and take care of your senior members:

  1. Regularly monitor their blood pressure to help you plan what actions to take.
  2. Let your loved ones take medications as prescribed by their physicians.
  3. Monitor and ensure that their weight is normal.
  4. Prepare and let them eat heart-healthy foods. Monitor the amount of their sugar and sodium intake.
  5. Encourage and guide them to exercise regularly.
