Dr. Oz's Smart Move of the Week: Know Your Numbers

You can drastically ­reduce your disease risk by managing two simple numbers. Blood pressure is the largest driver of heart disease; ideally it should be 115/70. If it’s close to 140/90, see a ­doctor. Next, strive for a waist size that equals half your height. For ­example, if you stand 5-foot-10, your waist should measure 35 ­inches. Tummy fat squeezes your ­kidneys, and that can increase your diabetes risk.

Normal blood pressure is when your blood pressure is lower than 120/80 mmHg most of the time.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is when your blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or above most of the time.

If your blood pressure numbers are 120/80 or higher, but below 140/90, it is called pre-hypertension.

"Know about your cholesterol,

glucose, iron, blood pressure too!

Practice prevention ... your Problems will be  few.
