Being a developing country with a tropical environment and alternating weather conditions, the Philippines is constantly seeing the occurrence of many diseases.
For this reason, the Department of Health (DOH) has identified various diseases in its effort to prevent its spread and improve the health condition of the people. This situation spawned a need for information about these diseases. As a response, DOH produced one-page advisories in language easily understood.
This compilation of health advisories were put together for easier reference for those who want precise information. These were crafted in a way that even individuals with non-medical background can easily read and understand. The advisories have been grouped according to the nature of the disease or health condition.

Healthy Heart, Healthy Life : Monitor Your Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a 'silent killer.'
Most of the time there are no obvious symptoms.
Certain physical traits and lifestyle choices can raise your risk of high blood pressure.
Untreated high blood pressure can cause heart attack, stroke and other health threats.
It’s important to have your blood pressure measured and to understand what your numbers mean.
If you’re diagnosed with high blood pressure, you should monitor your blood pressure regularly to alert you to changes in your blood pressure and help you see patterns.
Tracking your results over time will also show if lifestyle changes you’ve made are working. It can also help your health care professional monitor how treatments are working.
Fighting back against the 'silent killer!'
High blood pressure or hypertension, is often called a “silent killer” because it usually has no symptoms. It can affect all age groups: children, young adults, adults and older adults.
High blood pressure quietly damages blood vessels and leads to serious health problems.
There is no cure. But using medications as prescribed and making lifestyle changes can improve your quality of life and control your blood pressure. These actions also can reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and more.

Diabetes Awareness
When we eat food, our body makes glucose, a type of sugar. It travels in the blood to places in the body where energy is needed. Other parts of the body need insulin to carry glucose into cells to be used as energy. Healthy people can maintain healthy blood glucose by eating smart, being physically active, managing stress, and getting healthy sleep.
Healthy blood glucose is one sign that your brain, kidneys, and heart are healthy.
If blood glucose is too low, you may feel tired or dizzy but feel better after you eat.
But if blood glucose is too high over time, it may mean you have pre-diabetes or diabetes.
