High blood pressure can affect anyone
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood against the walls of your arteries is too high. According to Dr Sekanamisha Tema, head of internal medicine at Edenvale Hospital, it can be caused by stress, being overweight, consuming salty or fatty foods, smoking, or a lack of exercise. 'Many people don't feel unwell, but common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, chest pain, and fatigue. Hypertension can be managed with medication, regular exercise, and a healthy diet. Avoid salty snacks, red meat, fried foods, alcohol, and processed foods. Instead, focus on eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. ALSO READ: Silent but deadly: Check your blood pressure this May Measurement Month 'If left untreated, hypertension can lead to heart problems, stroke, or kidney disease. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly,' said Tema. Hypertension can affect anyone, but some groups are at a higher risk: • People over 40 are more likely to develop high blood pressure, with the risk increasing as they age. • Men are more likely to experience high blood pressure before the age of 55. • Women face an increased risk after menopause, typically after the age of 55. Even children and teenagers can develop hypertension, especially if they are overweight or have kidney problems, although this is less common. Sibongile Mnguni (65) was recently diagnosed with hypertension after experiencing persistent headaches and high temperatures that wouldn't subside. At first, she attributed the headaches to fatigue, but after visiting her GP, it was confirmed that her blood pressure was unusually high. Her diagnosis and the initiation of hypertensive medication were both new and frightening experiences for her. 'I was concerned because being on chronic medication was never part of my plan. I always thought I was healthy and in good shape,' she said. ALSO READ: Seven ways of helping to control your blood pressure Dr Tema explained that she could maintain a healthy lifestyle by adhering to the prescribed medication schedule and following a diet low in salt and processed fats. 'I am no longer where I was five months ago. I'm stronger and more mindful of what I eat, and I ensure that I take my medication on time every day. My doctors are pleased with my progress,' she added. Sibongile also notes that while she had always heard about hypertension, she never thought she was at risk due to her generally good health in her younger years. 'At first, I thought it was just menopause, and that delay almost led to me having a stroke. Thankfully, it was diagnosed in time,' she stated. Patients who experience symptoms that are concerning should visit their nearest clinic and avoid sharing medication that has not been prescribed to them.

Tema Launches New ETF to Combat Concentration Risk
The U.S. stock market is highly dependent on just a few stocks. A new exchange-traded fund is trying to combat that concentration risk. On Tuesday, the Tema S&P 500 Historical Weight ETF Strategy (DSPY), which seeks to reflect the S&P 500 but adjusts company weightings to match the S&P 500's average concentration level since 1989, hit the market, according to Tema's press release. The expense ratio is 0.18%. While investors have previously relied on the S&P 500 Equal Weight to mitigate concentration risk, the overlap between the S&P 500 and its equal-weight counterpart is at a multi-decade low, making the S&P 500 Equal Weight a less feasible solution to S&P 500 concentration, Maurits Pot, founder and CEO at Tema ETFs, told DPSY allows investors to keep their S&P 500 exposure but with lower concentration and lower volatility, and it avoids the rigidity of a cap that an equal-weight has, he said. 'It's a two-in-one solution,' Pot added. In recent years, a handful of tech giants have dominated the U.S. stock market. As of the market close on March 31, the top-10 stocks in the S&P 500 index accounted for roughly 34% of the overall index, according to data from S&P Dow Jones Indices. Apple Inc. (AAPL) makes up 7%, while Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) makes up 5.9% and Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) comes in at 5.6%. Inc. (AMZN), Meta Platforms Inc. (META), Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) and Tesla Inc. (TSLA)—the other 'Magnificent Seven' stocks—are among the other behemoths that highly influence the index. Last year, Morgan Stanley analysts reported that the rate of increase in U.S. stock market concentration in the last decade is the most rapid since 1950. The top-10 holdings in DSPY will seek to represent just 22% of the total exposure, according to the press | © Copyright 2025 All rights reserved Sign in to access your portfolio
