PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY by ST. IGNATIUS
Lord, teach me to be generous. Teach me to serve you as you deserve. To give and not to count the cost, To fight and not to heed
the wounds, To toil and not to seek for rest, To labor and not to seek reward, Save that of knowing that I do your will. AMEN

May is National High Blood Pressure Education Month
Presión arterial alta no controlada es la principal causa de
enfermedad cardíaca y accidente cerebrovascular. Hoy en día,
alrededor de 70 millones de adultos en los Estados Unidos
viven con la presión arterial alta. El centro para el control de
enfermedades (CDC) anima a todos que hagan una cosa para
reducir su presión arterial.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure is a leading cause of heart
disease and stroke. Today, about 70 million adults in the
United States are living with high blood pressure. To
recognize National Blood Pressure Education Month the CDC
encourages everyone to do one thing to reduce their blood
pressure.
¿Sabía usted que hay 5 cosas que puedes hacer para bajar la
presión?
Did you know, there are 5 things you can do to lower your
pressure?
1. Conozca sus números - sepa lo que significan sus números de
la presión arterial. Trabaje con su médico para bajar la presión
arterial.
1. Know your numbers – know what your blood pressure
numbers mean. Work with your doctor to lower your blood
pressure.
2. Coma bien - una dieta con exceso de sodio puede elevar la
presión arterial. Aumenta frutas y verduras.
2. Eat right – a diet with excessive sodium can raise your
blood pressure. Increase fruits and vegetables.
3. Manténgase activo - las personas que son más activas tienen
el pulso más bajo, esto puede ayudar a reducir la presión
arterial alta. Los adultos deben estar activos al menos 30
minutos al día durante 5 días a la semana.
3. Stay Active – people who are more active have lower heart
rates, which can help reduce high blood pressure. Adults
should be active at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week.
4. Reducir el estrés - Muchos responden a situaciones de estrés
comiendo más, menos ejercicio, bebiendo o fumando. Una
situación de estrés también puede aumentar la presión arterial
durante un corto período de tiempo. Busque maneras saludables
-como caminando - para ayudarle a lidiar con el estrés.
4. Reduce Stress – Many respond to stressful situations by
eating more, getting less exercise, drinking, or smoking. A
stressful situation can also increase blood pressure for a short
period of time. Look for healthy ways—like walking—to help
you deal with stress.
5. Tome su medicamento – siga las órdenes de su médico.
Tome su medicamento a la misma hora todos los días - no
omita su dosis.
5. Take Medication – follow your doctor’s orders. Take your
medication at the same time each day – don’t skip your doses.
