High blood pressure afflicts 1 out of ever 3 adults. A recent study has shown that stretching could be effective in managing blood pressure. Stretching not only stimulates your muscles, but also increases the flexibility of your arteries, thus increasing blood flow, and lowering blood pressure. #Stretching #BloodPressure #NowYouKnow

February Asset Tip: When your voice is heard, and your actions have impact, you are more committed to your role. The same is true with our youth. Ask for their opinions, and provide them with an opportunity to take action on those opinions. @ProjectCornerstone #YouthasResources
