    ENVIRONMENNT/EXERCISE Here’s how different types of exercise benefit :

     Start slowly and gradually increase your


    walking pace over three minutes until the
    activity feels moderate (slightly increased
    breathing, but should still be able to talk with
    someone). If you feel too short of breath, slow
    down your walking pace.
     Walk at a moderate pace for about five-ten
    minutes the first time and each day try to add
    one or two minutes as you are able. Aim for a
    goal of walking (30-45 minutes per day ).
     Choose an aerobic activity that you enjoy
    such as walking (outside or on a treadmill),
    stationary cycling, swimming, and rowing or
    water aerobics.
     Do some yoga exercise its ability to relax the
    body and mind. Emotional stress can cause a
    cascade of physical effects, including the
    release of hormones like cortisol and
    adrenaline, which narrow your arteries and
    increase blood pressure. The deep breathing
    and mental focus of yoga can offset this
    stress.
    OBSERVATION/OUT-  Follow-up monitoring, including periodic
    PATIENT DEPARTMENT blood laboratory testing and ECGs.
     Monitor vital signs especially blood pressure.
    Ask patient’s family members to learn how to
    take blood pressure and pulse. Keep a record
    of patient’s results. They could ask the doctor
    when they should seek emergency medical
    attention, or they could also learn to know
    which blood pressure reading is dangerous.
     If chest, jaw, neck, back, arm, shoulder pain
    is felt, shortness of breath, and cold sweat is
    experienced, call help immediately.
    Diet :  DASH a diet that rich in vegetables and fruits
    can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of
    heart disease and stroke .

     Drink five or more glasses of plain water per


    day have a much lower risk of fatal coronary
    heart disease.
