You’ve probably heard high blood pressure, or hypertension, is called a “silent killer,” and that’s for good reason. When the blood pumping through your body is pressing too hard against blood vessel walls, it can put your life at risk—but the condition is often asymptomatic, giving you no clues you’re in danger. Hypertension is also one of the largest risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke, the former of which is the leading cause of death around the world according to the World Health Organization.

Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology and director of the cardiac critical care unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, says in the AHA’s press release. So how can we manage those risk factors?

If you’re on weight loss drugs, you may want to eat up these dietary recommendations. 

Semaglutides, like Ozempic and Wegovy, have reached meteoric levels of popularity due to their effectiveness in helping users lose weight. 

They work by mimicking a hormone made in the intestines, known as glucagon-like peptide 1. Categorized as GLP-1 receptor agonists, the drugs bind to GLP-1 receptors in the body, lowering the user’s blood sugar and suppressing appetite as a result, as explained in an article by dietitian Lisa R.

Whether it’s for commuting, exercising, or a little background enjoyment while you work, headphones and earbuds have become nearly as essential to our daily routines as the smartphones they often connect to.
