Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure regularly. Enjoy healthy food. Take a look at what you eat every day. Do you eat vegetables and fruit every day and avoid too many rich fatty foods like pies, cakes and sweet biscuits. Be careful with medication.
Many older people take medication for medical problems.
Used properly, medication can help a lot - but used unwisely, it can cause more health problems. If you take medication regularly, always check with your doctor that you still need to continue taking it. Whenever your doctor prescribes a drug for you, always ask if there's another way of treating your problem without drugs. Always tell your doctor what other medicines you're taking as well. And never use other people's medication-just because they seem to have the same problem as you, doesn't mean a drug prescribed for them is safe for you.
