Are you ready for a nap? Power naps during the day are not a sign of laziness; in fact doctors say most of us would benefit from an afternoon nap. They say we should develop our own signs and symptoms checklist: For instance, what do you do when you’re tired? For some people, it's mood; anything sets them off. For others it's memory; they can't remember where they put their keys. If this sounds like you, maybe all you need is a nice nap.
You may have heard that sodium can affect your blood pressure, but did you know that calcium, potassium, and magnesium may help lower your blood pressure? If you suffer from high blood pressure, it’s best to get it checked regularly. St. John’s offers FREE blood pressure screenings every Wednesday from 7:30 – 10 in the morning at our Health Connection location inside Northpark Mall. For more information, call St. John’s Referral One at 625-2000 or log onto stj.com.
