Did you know that 1 out of every 4 adults in Ghana is living with high blood pressure (hypertension)?
Hypertension is often called the “silent killer” because it may show no symptoms until it leads to serious complications such as stroke, heart disease, kidney failure, and other life-threatening conditions.
Similarly, diabetes is a long-term condition that can quietly damage the body if not properly managed. When uncontrolled, diabetes may result in blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and serious cardiovascular complications.
The good news? Both hypertension and diabetes are preventable and manageable with early detection, lifestyle changes, and proper medical care.
How to Protect Yourself
Simple daily habits can greatly reduce your risk:
- Check your blood pressure and blood sugar regularly
- Eat healthy meals rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
- Exercise for at least 30 minutes daily
- Reduce salt and sugar intake
- Maintain a healthy body weight
- Avoid smoking and limit alcohol
- Manage stress through rest, relaxation, and healthy routines
Hypertension and diabetes do not have to lead to complications. With early screening and proper care, you can live a healthy and productive life.
