DAY 149 of 365

 GET REGULAR HEALTH SCREENING 

Going for medical checkup can be a way to get informed about one's health.
High Blood Pressure and High Cholesterol can damage the heart and blood vessels. But without testing for them, you probably won't know whether you have these conditions. 

Regular screening can tell you what your numbers are and whether you need to take action. 
Regular Blood Pressure Screening - Starting at age 18, your Blood Pressure should be measured at least once every two years to screen for High Blood Pressure as a risk factor for heart diseases and stroke.
Cholesterol Levels - Adult generally have their cholesterol measured at least once every four to six years. Cholesterol screening usually starts at age 20, though earlier tests may be recommended if you have other risk factors such as a family history of early onset heart disease.
