It is a leading cause of heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, and stroke. Your blood pressure can be taken by a Living Well Ministry representative after the Saturday night or either of the Sunday morning services every 4th weekend of the month in the gym. Just look for the Living Well Health Ministry table.
