When I first met Edward, the man who later would become my husband, I was filled with contradictions. I attended church on Sundays, so it was difficult for me to date someone who went to church—and even closed his business—on Saturdays, because he believed it was the day God asks us to keep holy. Edward never discussed the issue with me in detail; he just politely asked me one time to come to church with him. My answer was an emphatic “No.” Being a devout member of a different denomination, I determined that one day he would join my church.

Having completed a master’s degree at a prestigious university, he could easily go toe to toe with just about anyone in cleverly giving proof of God’s nonexistence. From an intellectual point of view, I knew I was no match for him. In fact, we never engaged on this level.

Hypertension, commonly called high blood pressure or ‘pressure’, continues to be a serious condition especially among black people. It is considered to be one of the most treatable diseases that can result in complications, disability and death.

Prevention of this disease can be achieved by the adoption of a healthier lifestyle starting in childhood and continuing into adult life.
