How to lower your blood pressure with Dr. Mark Porter and Dr. Pauline Swift – Health Edition
Experience is Everything: The Health Edition with Dr. Mark Porter, is brought to you by Saga, providing you with the very latest health advice that you can trust. We know that keeping fit, healthy and happy is paramount for our listeners and viewers and so, with the help of leading experts, we'll be diving into essential topics to help you do just that. Today’s episode is all about blood pressure. At least one in four adults in the UK now has high blood pressure, and the older you are the more likely that is. We need some pressure to circulate blood around our bodies, but if it is too high it can lead to problems ranging from an early heart attack or stroke, to kidney disease, visual loss and dementia. It is the original ‘silent killer’, the leading preventable risk of death and disability worldwide, and for every ten people who have been diagnosed, there are thought to be another seven who remain undiagnosed and untreated. Might you be one of them? And what can you and your doctor do to bring yours down? To help provide clarity on all of this and more is Dr. Pauline Swift, Consultant Nephrologist and Chair of the charity Blood Pressure UK. Dr. Mark Porter has worked as an NHS GP for nearly 40 years. He is an award-winning journalist, having spent much of his career at the BBC, and is currently a health columnist for Saga Magazine and The Times.
