Creative Sustainably Class “MANAGING HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, & FALLS”

 

Welcome to the Creative Sustainably Class on “Managing Hypertension, Diabetes, & Falls”! In this class, we will explore effective ways to manage three common health issues that affect millions of people around the world: hypertension, diabetes, and falls.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition in which the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. It can lead to serious health problems if left untreated, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body is unable to produce or use insulin effectively. This results in high levels of glucose in the blood, which can cause a wide range of health problems, including nerve damage, blindness, and kidney disease.

Falls, on the other hand, are a major concern for older adults, and can lead to serious injuries, such as hip fractures and head trauma. Falls can occur due to a variety of factors, including poor balance, weakened muscles, and medication side effects.

Throughout this class, we will discuss practical strategies and creative solutions for managing these health issues, with a focus on sustainable and long-term solutions. We will explore lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, as well as medication management and other medical interventions. We will also discuss how to manage these conditions in a way that promotes independence and quality of life.

By the end of this class, you will have a better understanding of how to effectively manage hypertension, diabetes, and falls, and will be equipped with the tools and knowledge to promote your own health and well-being. Let’s get started!
