Who doesn't love a little salt? However, if you’re consuming too much sodium, your body will retain water making it harder for fluids to run through your veins. So try to cut back on your sodium a little bit every day.
Friendly reminder to monitor your blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure (hypertension), you are at an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure or damage. Your blood pressure should be less than 120/80, and if you have diabetes, your blood pressure should be less than 130/80.

Did you know? You can improve your vascular health by taking good care of your feet. While coronary artery disease results from a hardening and narrowing of arteries in the heart, PAD is the result of hardening and narrowing arteries in the extremities, including your feet. Make sure you are getting good circulation in your feet and that you don't have any cuts, blisters, bruises, or sores on your feet to prevent PAD.
