It also explained symptoms and complications, reviewed methods of prevention and treatment, and corrected misconceptions. The workshop recommended adopting a healthy diet, engaging in physical activity, regularly measuring blood pressure, and regularly taking medication for patients suffering from it. It also recommended avoiding nervousness and psychological stress as much as possible. It’s okay for every family to have an electronic blood pressure monitor.
