American Heart Month/ A-1 Home Care Tarzana

This month is American Heart Month. A-1 Home Care will be posting awareness information about heart health across our blogs these upcoming weeks. A very important part of heart health and overall body wellness is blood pressure. Good heart health care tactics goes a long way to combating the epidemic of blood pressure issues that has plagued America in the past few decades. 

If you've been diagnosed with high blood pressure (a systolic pressure — the top number — of 140 or above or a diastolic pressure — the bottom number — of 90 or above), you might be worried about taking medication to bring your numbers down.
