Children's Health & Fitness ? Prevent High Blood Pressure And ...

If we are honest with ourselves, most of us consider conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke something that only older people need to worry about ? that is, people older than we are now.

Personally, I never gave heart disease or high blood pressure a second thought until one of my co-workers suffered her first stroke at age 36.

Within the last two weeks, one woman I know suffered her first heart attack at age 30 and my sister suffered a stroke at age 41 due to unchecked high blood pressure.

So, when should we begin worrying about heart attack and high blood pressure and the sometimes life-threatening, and often physically devastating, effects? Truthfully, it?s never too early to begin living a heart healthy lifestyle.

While lifestyle changes may help manage ? and even prevent ? heart disease and high blood pressure as we age, the trick to enjoying a heart and blood pressure healthy future may rest with the lifestyle choices we make in our childhood and teen years.
