High blood pressure (hypertension)
Its a leading risk factor for heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and diabetes complications. Known as the “silent killer,” high blood pressure often has no symptoms until serious problems occur. Many people have high blood pressure and can go for years without knowing they have the life-threatening disease. Nearly one out of three American adults (68 million) has high blood pressure. Less than half have their conditions under control.
@joinAmate Improving blood pressure
Control requires an expanded effort and an increased focus from healthcare systems, providers, patients, employers, and the entire nation. Join us daily ZUMBA Mon-Thur 6PM, our 90 Day Health Challenges, meets monthly, annual ÁmateAhora Health Expo.
Measure Up/Pressure Down®
Is a three-year national campaign designed to engage these important stakeholders in improving blood pressure control and achieving lasting improvements that lead the way to greater health, productivity.

Se celebra el 18 de abril de cada año, instituido por medio del Decreto N° 4476 publicado el 2 de abril de 1974 por orden del Presidente Constitucional de la República DR. Joaquín Balaguer Ricardo. Se escogió el 18 de abril debido a que en el año 1938, la entonces Dirección General de Telecomunicaciones llevó a cabo por primera vez exámenes para conceder carné oficial a los locutores. sobre el día del locutor dominicano que es cada 18 de abril de cada año.
Mil Gracias a El Genio De La Radio DJArgenis de TeleMicro en La República Dominicana, Jarabacoa. Argenis gracias por tu tiempo, talento, y tu voz animando al mundo y dándonos vitalidad para nuestra causa AmateAhora Voces Para La Salud!!!! 
Aquí mi colegas de Locucion en http://www.PLANETAXLIVE.com. Un reconocimiento en especial para la Licenciada Edna Rodriguez por ser mi Coach de Locucion y Productor Ejecutivo Xavier Cambray por incorporarme en su equipo. Fuerte Abrazo!
Muchos se preguntan y por qué el 18 de abril y no otro día? Todo comenzó el 18 de abril del año 1938 donde el Departamento de Comunicaciones del Gobierno Dominicano realizó en Santo Domingo el primer examen para aspirante a locutores con la intención de regularizar la radiodifusión nacional.
Entre los primeros participantes se encontraba Expedy Pou, Homero León Díaz y Pedro Julio Santana, padre y desde entonces el locutor es considerado un profesional de la palabra hablada.
Para el 2 de abril de 1974 fue publicado mediante Decreto No.4476 por orden del Presidente Constitucional de la República Dr. Joaquín Balaguer Ricardo fue instituido de que el 18 de abril de cada año sea celebrado el día del locutor dominicano y hoy en día en el país, actualmente se estima que hay más de 30,000 locutores y locutoras autorizados por la Comisión Nacional de Espectáculos Públicos y Radiofonía.

Meet Gerry Yumul 2015 “I am CardioSmart” Grand Prize Winner thanks to the ACC

@CardioSmart, American College of Cardiology
The following week I saw my first cardiologist, Dr. Pagan-Carlo. He took my vital signs and recommended that I get a stress test the following day. The test showed that my resting heart rate was fine but my stressed heart rate was abnormal. I went back to my cardiologist and he strongly advised me to get a coronary angiogram and potentially an angioplasty as well. I was asked then to make a decision and consent to the procedure. This is when I think the knowledge gained from working at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation came into play. I wasn’t inclined to get any major heart procedure since I felt fine that day. But the symptoms and their potential consequences, which I had seen in a lot of communications materials at work, helped me decide that the smarter decision was to follow my cardiologist’s advice.
The recovery period was a huge learning experience for me. In cardiac rehab, I learned how to gradually regain my strength, to live a healthy lifestyle through good nutrition and stress management, to develop a way to cope with emotional challenges and appreciate the important things in life, like family and friends. The recovery and health improvements I have made to date validate all my effort and perseverance in changing my lifestyle.
For the “I am CardioSmart” contest they asked the public how well are you living with heart disease. The responses were overwhelming! Their expert panel chose one winner in the following categories: Heart Attack, High Blood Pressure, Heart Failure, Congenital Heart Defect and Coronary Artery Disease. The winner in each category received a $100 Amazon/iTune gift card and have their stories featured on CardioSmart.org.
ÁmateAhora, Voices for Health will post for the next five days their inspiring stories from each of the 4 winners and the grand prize winner—a trip for two to San Diego, CA. And speak at the American College of Cardiology.
