BLOOD PRESSURE MANAGEMENT
We educate, support, and inspire people affected by chronic illness through innovative services and personalized tools, creating a pathway to better health.
At Sorogi, we believe self-monitoring of blood pressure, combined with hypertension-related education and lifestyle changes, along with stress reduction techniques, can improve your overall health and prevent complications.
Our unique blood pressure program provides opportunities to join weekly education sessions, physical activities, cooking demonstrations, and to work with a Registered Dietitian to develop a customized nutrition plan specific to you.
We based our hypertension solutions on the best research evidence, then tailored to you, the individual, helping those who must cope with the daily ups and downs of high blood pressure in their everyday life.
Hypertension
Hypertension (otherwise known as high blood pressure) is when the pressure in your blood is too high to be sustainable. Among the causes of hypertension are Diabetes, obesity, unhealthy habits such as smoking or excess caffeine/alcohol consumption, or a family history of high blood pressure. Some of the side effects of high blood pressure can include severe health complications and increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and sometimes death.
Implementing diets to lower blood pressure into your lifestyle can be a valuable option for those who are afflicted with this disease to manage hypertension. The DASHdiet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is a flexible and balanced eating plan, which is low in salt and rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean protein. Since stress can cause high blood pressure, implementing a lower-stress lifestyle wherever possible will also help manage hypertension in individuals. There are also other things to help lower blood pressure including more direct blood pressure treatment, such as water pills, calcium channel blockers, and Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
Sorogi’s blood pressure management program gives you the tools to manage your blood pressure and improve health. Our adage, “Because we understand, we journey with you.” means we recognize that understanding hypertension and how it affects your life isn’t something that happens in one visit. Instead, we meet you where you are in your life and work patiently alongside you to manage your high blood pressure and implement healthy changes.
Sorogi understands the cultural differences, gender and age distinctions, and education and income disparities that can hinder a person’s effective management of high blood pressure.
Every case of hypertension is as unique as the diverse people it affects. At Sorogi, we take our time to understand the individual factors specific to you and offer the support you need to thrive
