Hypertension "Silent Killer"

Did you know that in 2004 in the U.S. 150.000 people died of strokes?. Did you know that in UK every 5 minutes someone suffers a stroke?. Did you know that by 2025 1 billion people are going to suffer high blood pressure?

Heart disease and high blood pressure kill more people each year than the total of people killed in any World War.

Did you know Mexico, Paraguay and Venezuela are the countries with more high blood pressure in the World? 1 of every 3 people of these countries suffers from hypertension. And worst of all, people below 30 that suffer hypertension in this countries are ashamed of taking high blood pressure pills.

It only takes 2 days a year for a routine check up with your doctor. It only takes 5 min. to take your blood pressure. It only takes eating healthy and exercising once in a while to save your life.
