How Can You Lower Blood Pressure?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    In order to lower your high blood pressure you will need to make some changes in your lifestyle and curb the habits and behaviour that got you high blood pressure in the first place.

    The first step is following a healthy diet. This would include some low fat dairy products, fresh fruits, leafy green vegetables and food that is low in fat and cholesterol.

    The most important dietary adjustment you must make is to reduce the salt and the sodium in your diet.  It is best to maintain a healthy diet depending upon your height and age.

    Another important lifestyle change is to incorporate daily exercise in to your regimen. A brisk walk for about half an hour is excellent for reducing high blood pressure. Maybe you could take a pet or family member along and make the exercise a habit.
      
    If you are a heavy drinker, you should immediately limit your alcohol intake and if possible give up drinking altogether. Another way of reducing your blood pressure is to quit smoking.

    Lastly you can reduce all factors that give you pressure like overworking, quarrelling at home, unnecessarily get worked up over minor issues and so on and so forth.
