High blood pressure is one of the most common health problems in the UK today. The danger is that you may not feel unwell, yet your heart and blood vessels are working harder than they should. Left untreated, this can lead to serious complications such as stroke, kidney damage, or heart failure.
Two major factors behind high blood pressure are weight and lifestyle. Both can raise or lower your risk, depending on the choices you make. At Imaan Pharmacy Werneth, we offer a local blood pressure monitoring service and support with weight loss injections to help you take charge of your health.
Why extra weight affects blood pressure
When you carry extra weight, your heart has to push blood around a larger body mass. That extra effort raises the pressure inside your arteries. Over months and years, this strain damages blood vessels and increases your risk of long-term illness.
The good news is that even small amounts of weight loss help. Dropping just a few pounds can ease pressure on the heart and make a noticeable difference to your blood pressure readings.
Lifestyle choices that matter
Weight is only part of the picture. Everyday habits also play a big role:
- Diet: Foods high in salt and processed ingredients cause blood pressure to rise. Fresh meals with fruit, vegetables, and whole grains help protect your heart.
- Activity: Moving your body strengthens your heart muscle. Even 20–30 minutes of walking daily lowers risk.
- Smoking and alcohol: Both push blood pressure up and make arteries less healthy. Cutting down has immediate benefits.
- Stress: Constant stress triggers temporary spikes in blood pressure. Finding ways to relax helps balance it.
- Sleep: Rest is often overlooked, but poor sleep can disturb blood pressure regulation.
How we can support you
Blood pressure checks
Our blood pressure monitoring service gives you a clear picture of what’s happening. Instead of relying on a one-off check, regular readings help spot patterns early and track your progress if you are making lifestyle changes.
Weight management support
For some people, diet and exercise are not enough on their own. Weight loss injections can reduce appetite and make it easier to stick with healthier eating. This not only supports weight control but also helps lower blood pressure by easing the load on your heart.
Local advice you can trust
At Imaan Pharmacy Werneth, our team will give you guidance that fits your life. We’ll help with small, realistic changes rather than overwhelming plans.
Small steps, steady progress
It doesn’t take dramatic changes to see results. Simple habits like drinking more water, cooking with less salt, or going for a short walk each day all make a difference. Combined with professional help such as weight loss treatments and blood pressure checks, these steps lead to long-term benefits.
