When was the last time you checked your blood pressure (BP)? Despite being a simple and quick process, possible from the comfort of your home, 30% of individuals in India have never measured their BP. Even if you feel healthy, monitoring your BP is crucial for early detection of hypertension or other #cardiovascular conditions like #heartattack and #stroke. It could also save lives and reduce the risk of CVD diseases by 50%. The May Measurement Month is a global initiative that aims to educate people on the importance of checking their blood pressure regularly. So, become a #healthwarrior by knowing your numbers and taking the first steps toward prioritizing health. And even better – encourage your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues to measure their #BP. #MayMeasurementMonth #Hypertension #BloodPressure #CCDC #India Dorairaj Prabhakaran Poornima Prabhakaran Arun P Jose Shifalika Goenka Krithiga Shridhar Dev Jindal Ishita Rawal
