ROYAL OAK, MI, March 31, 2013 (Press-News.org) Campbell Urgent Care is marking World Health Day with Free Screening for Cardiovascular Diseases on April 6 and 7 at the Royal Oak, MI location.
Cardiovascular disease (also called heart disease) is the #1 cause of death in the US and accounts for 33.6% of all US deaths! It affects men and women of all ages. In fact, according to the CDC, 1 in 3 US adults currently lives with one or more types of cardiovascular disease. The major risk factors for CVD include physical inactivity, poor diet, tobacco use, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, overweight and diabetes. The key to preventing cardiovascular diseases is managing these risk factors.
For optimal cardiovascular health, we recommend getting screened for blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose. High blood pressure greatly increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. And too much cholesterol in the blood can build up inside arteries and form plaque, which increase your chances of having a heart attack or stroke as well. Blood glucose is another factor that should be checked. High blood glucose levels put you at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which can lead to heart disease and stroke.
Leading a healthy lifestyle greatly reduces a person's risk of developing heart disease or stroke. Campbell Urgent Care recommends following the recommendations below to maintain a healthy body:
- Don't smoke or use tobacco.
- Stay active (30 mins of exercise/day).
- Maintain a healthy weight. Keep your waist under 40" (men) or 35" (women)
- Make healthy food choices (limit saturated fats).
- Get regular health screenings & find out if you need to take action
- Sleep an hour earlier than usual
- Eat fish once a week
- Take a baby aspirin every day
- Drink water
Get checked for treatable cardiovascular disease risk factors like glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure during the Free Health Screening Weekend on April 6 and 7, 2013, 9am to 3pm at Campbell Urgent Care, Royal Oak! Early detection lowers the risk of future complications.
