Are blood pressure readings juggling with your health?
A letter to the Times in response to the announcment that blood presure measurements need to be performed differently to get more accurate readings.

Happiness is a Healthy Heart
A popular New Year’s resolutions is to get fit which means maintaining a healthy heart.
In this Video How to Keep A Heart Healthy we offer five ways to keep your heart strong and healthy
Ways to keep the heart in good condition.
Read labels. Doctors say look at what you are eating, especially when it comes to trans fats.
A healthy heart means healthy arteries, and healthy blood pressure. When arteries become clogged from cholesterol and fat, they shut off blood flow that’s needed to keep the body running and the heart pumping. When blood pressure is high, it can weaken the heart and other organs.

Music can have similar effects as laughter some researchers have found. Listening to your favorite music opens up your blood vessels, in the same way laughter can some studies have shown.
Exercise of course. A brisk daily walk of at least half an hour can also make a big difference to your heart’s health.
Keep in touch with friends. Some doctors say their studies have shown that being socially active reduces of stress, and losing stress can reduce your risk of heart disease.
