sing the kids around and, recently, preparing the oldest child for kindergarten. In addition, both Renee and Karl work full time, so there isn’t a lot of free time to do things that are important to their health, like see the doctor for regular physicals. Both are healthy, so they haven’t been too worried. Renee went for routine physical last week and had blood work drawn. (It had been three years since her last physical.) The doctor called during the day with some worrying results. After putting the kids to bed, Renee was ready to talk through the results with Karl. Karl, with a worried look on his face, asked what was up. Renee told him that her cholesterol levels were very high. In fact, her total cholesterol was 220. Her HDL was 20, and her LDL was 200.

How can hypertension be prevented?
Ludmilka [50]
Hypertension can be prevented by all of the above.

Hypertension is basically high blood pressure. Although it is a serious thing that can increase strokes, heart diseases, and kidney diseases, you may hear people say, 'calm down, your blood pressure is going up'. Hypertension can definitely be prevented by a balanced diet (can keep your blood pressure under control), regular exercise (doctors say to for 30 minutes each week if one has high blood pressure), and having a healthy weight (weight is crucial with hypertension).
