"Watch your weight. As your weight increases, chances are your blood pressure and related heart-stresses are increasing too. In some cases, just a loss of ten pounds can show you a decrease in your blood pressure levels. Consult your doctor on a healthy target weight.\nIt's very important that you know the target weight range for your height and work to maintain it. If you are overweight or obese, know how much you need to lose to reach your target weight range. Begin working toward that goal, even if you know it will take a long time to reach it. Each pound lost is a success that will help you live a healthier life!\nIn addition to the number on the scale, your waistline measurement matters, too. Men with a waistline of 40 inches (101.6 cm) or more and women with a waist of 35 inches (88.9 cm) or more at an increased risk of hypertension. Asian men and women run on a scale of about 3 inches (7.6 cm) smaller (for both sexes)."
