Aloha ‘Ohana,

May is National High Blood Pressure Education Month! Many people have high blood pressure, and it’s associated with health risks, even if they don’t realize it. Estimates suggest nearly half of adults in the United States live with high blood pressure, also known as hypertension.

This month, our team at Ko’olauloa Health Center will focus on educating our community about the disease and what you can do to lower your risk factors or manage it. Fortunately, there are many ways to manage high blood pressure through lifestyle choices, as well as medications to treat it. Over the course of the month, we will be highlighting these health steps. If you’d like to learn more, please call (808) 293-9231 to make an appointment with our staff. We look forward to helping you and your family. Mahalo!

Thoughts on Masks
Thoughts on Masks

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Though mask mandates have been lifted in Hawaii, please be respectful of the choices of others. While you may be comfortable going maskless, you can never assume the intentions of others. They may be immunocompromised, have kupuna living at home, or maybe they're just more comfortable wearing a mask out in public.

Eating Healthy
Eating Healthy

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Eating healthy doesn’t mean giving up your favorite foods forever. Healthy eating is all about moderation. If you make the changes gradually, you’re more likely to stick to them. Here are some small changes to make the healthy choice, the easy choice:

  • Eat a small snack of raw, non-starchy vegetables like carrots, celery, broccoli, or peppers before going out to a restaurant or party. You will feel less hungry and be less likely to overindulge.

  • Use smaller plates and bowls at mealtimes. Although your portion size will be smaller, your plate will look full while you still enjoy your favorite foods.

Remember, eating nutritious foods can improve not only your overall health but also reduce your risk for many chronic diseases. 

Mahalo and have a great Aloha Thursday!
