3 hrs agoMost Nigerians believe that sickness only shows when the body starts to give signs. But there is one silent killer spreading fast in Nigeria that gives no warning at all: High Blood Pressure (Hypertension).
๐ Why itโs dangerous:
It has no early symptoms. You can look healthy, yet your blood vessels and heart are being destroyed.
It is the leading cause of stroke,myocardial infarction (MI) and kidney failure in Nigeria.
Even people in their 20s and 30s now have it โ not just the elderly.
๐ The shocking truth:
Over 30 million Nigerians are estimated to have high blood pressureโฆ and many donโt even know because they have never checked.
๐ What you can do:
Check your blood pressure regularly (it takes less than 5 minutes).
Reduce salt and seasoning cubes in food.
Exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
Avoid excess alcohol, smoking, and constant stress.
๐ฉบ Donโt wait until stroke or sudden death strikes. The best protection is early awareness.
