Most elderly people have problems getting up off the floor. As a child you spend a lot of time on the floor, adults do not. Doing yoga / stretching exercises on the floor can improve balance, mobility, flexibility and the ability to get up and down.. Just getting up and down to the floor in a controlled manner is difficult for many older adults. Play with your children on the floor. Bend over, get down and pull weeds in your garden. Play with a pet on the floor. The more effort you make to work on balance and flexibility will pay dividends as you age.

Doctors offices are too casual when taking blood pressure so accuracy suffers. You need to be sitting rested/relaxed for 5 minutes before taking blood pressure. You should not have just had coffee or caffeine in the past hour. You need to not talk or move while it is being taken. You should not have to go to the restroom. Holding your urine to relieve yourself will raise your blood pressure. Your blood pressure changes thru out the day and is impacted by stress levels. It is best to take your blood pressure at home at the same time every day under controlled circumstances and track the results. Too many people have white coat hypertension just from going to the doctors office. Those with hypertension should be encouraged to address this with life style changes along with medication if that does not work. Doctors offices should tell people that lowering their weight thru diet and exercise may have the same result or better than medications. Nutrition and exercise education should be the first option in treatment.
