The next No Pressure Blood Pressure will be held on Wednesday, March 27th.

 Important reasons not to miss the next screening:

1. 65 million Americans have hypertension (high blood pressure)

2. Many people don't even know their blood pressure is high because there are no symptoms in most cases

3. Hypertension can lead to heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease

4. 66% of those IC employees measured at the last screening were pre-hypertensive   (above ideal )

5. A 20 point increase in systolic blood pressure (top number) or a 10 point increase in diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) doubles the risk of heart disease.

6. Poor diet, inactivity, and being overweight can lead to an increase in blood pressure

7. If one does not adopt a healthy lifestyle, the hypertensive individual will need to take costly medication with potential side effects

8. Physical and emotional stress can elevate your blood pressure

It's stigma stomper week at IC!  Grab a button from the display case in the North Foyer of the Campus Center and wear it proudly to show you believe counseling is a smart and healthy thing to do, when needed.

So many students don't get the mental health care they need because they are afraid of being judged by their friends.  Wearing a button to show your support of stomping out the stigma about accessing mental health care might make it easier for one of your friends to reach out and get help if needed.
