May has brought the perfect mix of warm weather and festivities around the Decatur County area, making it an ideal time to take your wellness routine outside. Whether it’s walking by the river, joining a local race, or simply getting fresh air, outdoor movement can boost your energy and help you stay consistent with your goals.

This month, we’re highlighting simple ways to support your physical and mental health through nature, movement, and mindful breaks. Small steps can make a big difference, and May has offered plenty of opportunities to build momentum that can carry you into summer feeling stronger and more grounded.

As May comes to an end, we still need to be aware of the risk of High Blood Pressure and Strokes.

High blood pressure also known as hypertension, is also called the "silent killer" because it usually has no warning signs or symptoms. Yet it is one of the leading risk factors for stroke and heart disease.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly half of adults in the US have high blood pressure, and many do not even know it.
Do you know your numbers? If not, please feel free to contact Health Hub of Decatur at 731-697-0137 to schedule an appointment to get your Health Screening at no cost to you!

May is High Blood Pressure and Stroke Awareness Month
A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is blocked or a blood vessel in the brain bursts. It can cause permanent brain damage, disability, or death. The American Stroke Association (ASA) emphasizes that up to 80% of strokes are preventable through healthy lifestyle changes and managing risk factors like high blood pressure.

Be sure you are aware of your numbers (blood pressure, blood glucose and BMI) so you can make healthier choices for your wellness!
