The world is going through a third wave of a global pandemic, Covid-19. With the Omicron variant becoming the dominant strain of the coronavirus, we are all finding it difficult to keep up with the rapidly mutating virus and recurring restrictions and lockdowns. The pandemic has taught us all the importance of asset health, but it’s worth acknowledging that there are some other health hazards to be aware of besides COVID. Hypertension is a lifestyle disease that affects nearly 30% of our population and is characterized by persistent high blood flow in the arteries that puts pressure on them and ultimately leads to reduced elasticity.

While there is no prescribed manual to help achieve longer lifespans, there are some lifestyle changes that can improve our lives by lessening the side effects of these diseases.
