Hypertension in Control!

The three of us (my mother, sister and I) would always remind my father to lose more weight and to lessen his food intake. Though he did shed some pounds, he is still overweight. And it really bothers me a lot. My father has always been very confident and proud that at his age of 50, he is not taking any maintenance drugs unlike others who are hypertensive at such a young age. (That's one of the things I dislike about him)

But recently, he has been diagnosed with hypertension and has been prescribed with Amlodipine. He's bombarded with my "I-told-you-so" looks.

Now, what can you do if you are hypertensive?

For me, it begins with LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION.

Make healthy living a habit...
...and stick to it.
