It is possible to rejuvenate your heart and reduce your risk of heart disease by taking steps to alter controllable risk factors, for example, by carefully following your diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol treatment, and by adopting healthy lifestyle habits.

It can sometimes be difficult for people with high blood pressure to understand or feel the benefits of their treatment. Blood pressure readings are an important indication of whether the treatment for hypertension is working, and can help determine whether your treatment needs to be adjusted.
