It’s that time of the year again when we are excited to kick off “Know Your Numbers Week” for 2023. This week-long event is aimed at raising awareness about the importance of monitoring and understanding your blood pressure levels – an essential part of maintaining good health and preventing serious illnesses.

This year’s theme, “Make Time, Ease the Pressure” encourages us all to take the time to focus on our health and reduce the stressors in our lives. Monitoring your blood pressure regularly can be a first step to easing the pressure and can help prevent conditions like heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.

Local resident Steph from Essex took control of her health by monitoring her blood pressure at home and making crucial lifestyle changes. With the support of a Health and Wellbeing Coach, Steph has lost over 4 stone in a year and improved her blood pressure, setting an inspiring example for us all.
