High blood pressure—also called hypertension—often goes unnoticed. That’s why it’s known as the “silent killer.” You can feel perfectly fine and still have numbers that put you at risk for more serious conditions.

Know your numbers.

A normal blood pressure is usually below 120/80 mmHg. Anything consistently higher deserves attention. The only way to know for sure is to check—at home, at a pharmacy, or during your next visit.

What can you do today?

* Move more: Even 30 minutes of walking most days helps.
* Eat smart: Reduce salt, add fruits and vegetables.
* Manage stress: Breathing exercises, hobbies, and good sleep matter.
* Stay consistent: If you’re prescribed medication, take it as directed.

Have questions or need a blood pressure check?
Schedule an appointment with us at Telluride Regional Medical Center. We’re here to help you stay healthy and informed.

_________________________________

La presión arterial elevada, también llamada hipertensión, a menudo pasa desapercibida. Por eso se le conoce como el "asesino silencioso". Uno puede sentirse perfectamente bien y tener números que lo ponen en riesgo de condiciones más graves.

Conozca sus números.

Una presión arterial normal suele estar por debajo de 120/80 mmHg. Cualquier número consistentemente superior merece atención especial. Y la única forma de saber con certeza cuáles son sus números es controlándo su presión en casa, en una farmacia o en una visita médica.

¿Qué puede hacer hoy?

* Muévase más: caminar 30 minutos por día ayuda.
* Comer inteligentemente: reduzca la sal, añada frutas y verduras.
* Gestione el estrés: los ejercicios de respiración, los hobbies y un buen sueño son importantes.
* Sea constante: si le recetan medicamentos, tómelos según las indicaciones dadas.

Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days can help lower and control high blood pressure.

That might look like:
• A brisk walk
• Shoveling snow
• Dancing while cooking
• Skiing a few morning laps
• Stretching or doing yoga at home

Movement improves circulation, supports a healthy heart, and helps manage stress—key factors in keeping blood pressure in check. You don’t have to do anything extreme. Consistency matters more than intensity.

If you have questions about your blood pressure or want to talk with a provider, we’re here to help.

30 minutos de ejercicio moderado por día puede ayudar a reducir y controlar la hipertensión.

Cosas como:

• Un paseo rápido

• Palear nieve

• Bailar mientras cocina

• Esquiar por la mañana

• Estirarse o hacer yoga en casa

El movimiento mejora la circulación, apoya un corazón sano y ayuda a gestionar el estrés, factores clave para mantener la presión arterial bajo control. No tiene que hacer nada extremo. La constancia importa más que la intensidad.

Si tiene preguntas sobre su presión arterial o quiere hablar con un profesional, estamos aquí para ayudarle.

As we enter a new year, many of us set intentions around health, energy, and feeling more comfortable in our bodies. Weight loss often rises to the top of that list—and for good reason. Excess weight can affect joint health, blood pressure, blood sugar, sleep, and overall quality of life. 74 percent of Americans are overweight, and 40 percent are obese. You are not alone!

Medications that target GLP-1 and GIP receptors work on pathways already present in the body. They help regulate appetite and metabolism by increasing fullness, reducing hunger, slowing stomach emptying, and improving insulin sensitivity.

These medications are not for everyone, but they may help people who struggle despite lifestyle changes, particularly during aging or menopause.

-----------------------------

Al entrar el nuevo año, muchos de nosotros establecemos intenciones en torno a la salud, la energía y a sentirnos más cómodos con nuestro cuerpo. La pérdida de peso suele situarse en lo más alto de esa lista, y con razón. El exceso de peso puede afectar la salud de las articulaciones, la presión arterial, el azúcar en sangre, la calidad del sueño y la calidad de vida en general. El 74 % de los estadounidenses tiene sobrepeso y el 40 % es obeso. ¡Usted no está solo!

Los medicamentos que actúan contra los receptores GLP-1 y GIP también actúan sobre las vías ya presentes en el cuerpo, ayudando a regular el apetito y el metabolismo, aumentando la sensación de saciedad, reduciendo el hambre, ralentizando el vaciado estomacal y mejorando la sensibilidad a la insulina.

Estos medicamentos no son para todo el mundo, pero pueden ayudar a las personas que tienen dificultades a pesar de los cambios en el estilo de vida, especialmente durante el envejecimiento o la menopausia.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy of courage, compassion, and service.

Dr. King reminded us that true leadership is rooted in care for one another, and that building a healthier, more just world begins with community.

At Telluride Medical Center, we believe health equity matters and that everyone deserves access to high-quality, respectful care, no matter their background, identity, or circumstances.

On this MLK Day, we reflect on the ways we can continue to serve our community with dignity, inclusion, and kindness not just today, but every day.
