Knowing your blood pressure reading is one of the simplest ways to protect your heart and overall health.

Checking your reading regularly and understanding what it means can help you take control of your health.

You can help manage your blood pressure by:
โ€ข Eating a balanced diet with less salt ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿง‚โœจ
โ€ข Staying active and moving regularly ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช
โ€ข Maintaining a healthy weight โš–๏ธ๐Ÿ’™
โ€ข Reducing alcohol and stopping smoking ๐Ÿšญ๐Ÿท

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Throughout the month we will be sharing content about consent, what s*xual assault is and support available.

Today's fact is about consent, and how it needs to be given...
๐Ÿ“… Each time you have s*x
๐Ÿ’‹ For each s*xual act (including kissing and touching) - just because someone has agreed to do one thing, doesnโ€™t mean they agree to everything
โœ… By each person involved

This applies to everyone, whether you're single, dating, in a relationship or married...and remember, consent is key to all s*x and s*xual contact - s*x without consent is s*xual assault.
