High Blood Pressure

Prevention

Adults over 18 should have their blood pressure checked routinely.
Lifestyle changes may help control your blood pressure:

• Lose weight if you are overweight. Excess weight adds to strain on the heart. In some cases, weight loss may be the only treatment needed.
• Exercise regularly. If possible, exercise for 30 minutes on most days.
• Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products while reducing total and saturated fat intake. (See: Heart disease and diet)
• Avoid smoking. (See: Nicotine withdrawal)
• If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar under control.
• Do not consume more than 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks per day.
• Try to manage your stress.
