rachel60+FollowBlood Pressure Rules Just Got StricterThe American Heart Association just dropped new blood pressure guidelines, and the bar for high BP is now lower—130/80 is the new stage one. The wildest part? They want us to cut back on booze big time (like, none at all if you can), and keep it to one drink a day for women, two for men. Plus, daily exercise is a must (no Everest climbs needed, just 30 mins a day). Time to dust off that home BP monitor! #Health #BodyHealth #BloodPressure2816Share
Kristi Key+FollowNew Hope for Stubborn High Blood PressureStruggling to get your blood pressure down, even with meds? There’s a new experimental pill called baxdrostat that just showed real promise in a big clinical trial. Nearly 40% of people who tried it hit healthy blood pressure levels, even after other meds failed. If approved, it could be the first fresh approach to tough-to-treat hypertension in decades. Could this finally be the game-changer for millions? #Health #BodyHealth #BloodPressure364Share
Alicia Williams+FollowBananas Might Be Your Blood Pressure HackTurns out, eating more bananas (and other potassium-packed foods) could do more for your blood pressure than just cutting back on salt! Canadian researchers say our bodies are basically built to thrive on a high-potassium, low-sodium diet—think more fruit, less processed stuff. Bonus: their new model shows the potassium-to-sodium ratio is key. If you’re over 40 or haven’t checked your BP in a while, maybe it’s time. Who knew cheap fruit could be such a game-changer? #HealthHacks #BloodPressure #Potassium #Bananas #Wellness #Health32339Share
Kevin Craig+FollowBlood pressure rethink: Why 120 isn’t so safe anymoreNew guidelines mean what we used to call a 'normal' blood pressure—120/80—now comes with a warning label. El Paso’s Dr. Munoz says even slightly higher numbers can quietly harm your heart, especially in our community where diabetes and heart disease are common. The advice? Don’t wait for symptoms. Start checking your pressure at home, walk 20 minutes a day, cut back on salt and sugar, and get better sleep. Small changes can lower your risk of stroke or heart attack in just weeks. How will these new standards change your daily habits? #Health #BodyHealth #BloodPressure00Share
maria25+FollowNew Blood Pressure Rules: No More Booze?Major update alert: Experts just dropped new blood pressure guidelines, and the big shocker? They now say cutting out alcohol completely is the gold standard for heart health (not just limiting it). Plus, doctors are being told to treat high BP sooner, even with meds. Add in less salt, more veggies, and you could seriously lower your risk of heart attack, stroke, and even dementia. Time to rethink that happy hour? #Health #BodyHealth #BloodPressure3428Share
David Hernandez+FollowYour Home BP Monitor Might Be LyingEver wondered why your blood pressure at home seems lower than at the doctor’s office? Turns out, you’re not imagining things. A massive study found home and pharmacy BP monitors often give lower readings than those taken in clinics—especially if you have hypertension. The ‘white coat effect’ (yep, nerves!) can make office numbers spike. Experts say we need clearer BP targets, no matter where you check it. Anyone else double-checking their numbers now? #Health #BodyHealth #BloodPressure155Share
maria25+FollowNew Blood Pressure Rules Just Dropped!The American Heart Association just shook things up with its first new blood pressure guidelines since 2017. Now, doctors will use a tool called PREVENT to check your risk for heart attack or stroke, factoring in things like age, cholesterol, and more. There are also updates to lab tests for people with high blood pressure. If you thought your last checkup was thorough, just wait! Time to brush up on what counts as healthy these days. #Health #BodyHealth #BloodPressure259249Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowNew Blood Pressure Guidelines: What to SkipThe latest blood pressure guidelines are out, and they’re basically telling us to chill on two things: salty foods (bye, pizza and fries) and that extra drink. Nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure, and these simple swaps could seriously lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, and even dementia. Want to stay healthy? Check those food labels, go easy on the booze, and maybe swap takeout for a home-cooked meal once in a while! #Health #BodyHealth #BloodPressure5014Share
April Anderson+FollowNew Blood Pressure Rules: What’s Changed?Did you know nearly half of Americans now need to watch their blood pressure more closely?

Cut sodium, move more, manage stress, and keep an eye on your numbers at home. There’s even a new risk calculator to help you and your doc get ahead of heart trouble.
