According to the Irish Heart Foundation, 2 in 3 adults over 50 have high blood pressure and aren\u2019t aware of it. <a href=\"https:\/\/irishheart.ie\/heart-and-stroke-conditions-a-z\/high-blood-pressure\/\">High blood pressure<\/a>&nbsp;carries risks for a number of serious conditions. The higher your blood pressure, the greater your risk of heart attack or stroke, heart failure, kidney failure and dementia. Lower blood pressure when you stand up or bend over (known as postural hypotension) may make you feel faint or dizzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as visiting a GP, the Irish Heart Foundation also highlight 8 Heart healthy habits which can help reduce heart disease:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Manage Your Blood Pressure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be Active<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Control your cholesterol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat healthily- reduce salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quit smoking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage your stress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a healthy weight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut down on alcohol<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All libraries in Westmeath offer access to a range of book and online magazines which can support you in adopting these habits. <a href=\"https:\/\/westmeathculture.ie\/library\/join-your-library\/\">Membership<\/a> is free to all so, drop into <a href=\"https:\/\/westmeathculture.ie\/library\/find-your-library\/\">your local Library today<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moate Library was delighted to welcome the Irish Heart Foundation mobile unit on Monday 29 May.
