First opened in 1902 as a hotel and saloon for railroad worker, the Historic Wunsche Bros. Cafe and Saloon is a historic landmark in Spring. Come for an evening of drinking, snacking and ghost watching – as the oldest building in town, this place is rumored to be haunted! Favorite appetizers are the homemade sausage and sauerkraut balls and beer battered onion rings. The cafe serves several sandwiches and burgers, like their famous half-pound burger and catfish po’ boy. Chicken fried chicken is the house specialty, and customers rave about the thick sliced, doughy beer bread that comes with entrees. If you’re just there for snacking, don’t pass up the opportunity and order a side. Wunsche Bros also offers several tasty desserts like peach cobbler and their signature chocolate whiskey cake.

Controlling your blood pressure is important as you age, as it may decrease your risk of stroke or heart attack. High blood pressure, otherwise known as hypertension, is a blood pressure level of 140/90 mmHg or higher. If you feel that you may be at risk for high blood pressure or you simply want to take preventative measures, these simple tips can help. But first, remember to consult with your doctor!

1. Start a heart-healthy diet. The most important way to control your blood pressure through your diet is by decreasing your sodium intake and not consuming saturated fats. You should also incorporate more lean meats, fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables into your daily diet.
2. Lose some weight. The majority of people with high blood pressure are at least 10 pounds overweight, so this makes a good starting point for how much you should lose to see blood pressure results. If you’re already on blood pressure medication, this can also help make it more effective.
3. Decrease stress. Although stress isn’t the main cause of high blood pressure, it is certainly a contributing factor. Practice meditation and deep breathing to help ward off stressors in your daily life.
4. Quit your vices. Bad health habits like smoking, drinking, and consuming too much caffeine can all increase your blood pressure, so try to cut them out of your life.
