Celebrate Heart Month by knowing your numbers. ❤️
Your blood pressure is an important sign of heart health. Getting an accurate reading at home or at your provider’s office makes all the difference.
For the best results:
✅ Wait 30 minutes after eating or drinking
✅ Empty your bladder
✅ Sit quietly for 5 minutes
✅ Keep feet flat and legs uncrossed
✅ Rest your arm at chest height
✅ Make sure the cuff is snug on bare skin
✅ Stay relaxed and quiet during the measurement
Small steps like these can make a big difference in protecting your heart.
