Don't Make Our Ho Ho Hos Into High High Hypertension This Season

It maybe my futile attempt for a joke for this holiday season but this is actually a serious wake up call for something that can affect you and me especially this festive season. As we continue to celebrate the this holiday, we make it sure to have a bountiful table for everyone, which we consider to manifest a plentiful future ahead of us.

And most of us have kept this tradition, as we reward ourselves and our family from the hard work that we put this this year. And another reason to celebrate is because of the challenges we faced, and still facing during this pandemic. It's not really bad to reward ourselves, however we should consider our health more than ever during these days.

Along with the virus problem we should also take into consideration other diseases that can contract due to our lifestyle in the new normal. We have become more sedentary with our set up of working and studying from home. We now eat more as we stock up on supplies and snacks. There has been an increase of weight gain with many people due to this predicament. Thus the risks of hypertension and heart disease are also increasing rapidly.
