Tyler Perry hit the net today to stress the importance of heart health in the wake of John Singleton’s untimely passing.

Details below…
Perry hit Instagram a few hours ago with a photo of a blood pressure monitor, stating:
?Took my blood pressure this morning, and it made me think about John Singleton and all of us. I want to ask you a few questions. When was the last time you checked your blood pressure?
When was the last time you had a physical? When was the last time you ran a mile? When was the last time you checked in on YOU? John?s untimely death should be a wake up call to all of us. We gotta take better care of ourselves!!?
Normal blood pressure for adults is defined as a systolic pressure (top number) of less than 120 and a diastolic pressure (bottom number) of less than 80.
High blood pressure (hypertension) doesn’t have any initial symptoms but could cause health-related problems later. ?That’s why it’s so important to monitor your blood pressure numbers and get them under control sooner rather than later.
