May in Silver Spring & Best of Silver Spring Next Month

Spring has finally arrived in Silver Spring!

Enough with the springtime snow & cold weather – time to get out and enjoy the season.  Go wireless at a free wi-fi hotspot; shop ‘til you drop or have a picnic in the park.   You can also go swimming this month when outdoor pools open Memorial Day weekend.

Best of Silver Spring – Back in June!

Get ready for our 2007 Best of Silver Spring Contest.  We want to know your favorite places in Silver Spring for food, fun and business referrals.  Check out last year’s Best of Silver Spring winners and let us know if you have any suggestions for this year’s Best of Silver Spring contest.   Businesses looking to advertise in our 2007 Best of Silver Spring Visitor’s Guide should check our BOSS website (http://www.SilverSpringBusiness.com) during May for ad details and marketing options.

Silver Spring Health:  High Blood Pressure Awareness Month

May is High Blood Pressure Month

High blood pressure: a force to be reckoned with

Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries. When that force stays too high, it becomes a life-threatening condition—high blood pressure (also called hypertension).

It makes the heart work too hard, hardens the walls of arteries, and can cause the brain to hemorrhage or the kidneys to function poorly or not at all.  Anyone can develop high blood pressure. But these factors increase the risk: being overweight or obese, being physically inactive, high salt and sodium intake, low potassium intake (due to not eating enough fruits and vegetables), excessive alcohol consumption, and diabetes.
