Eat more fresh foods. Fruits, vegetables and unprocessed grains contain little sodium. Avoid alcohol consumption.
Avoid tobacco products and secondhand smoke..Drinking caffeinated beverages can temporarily cause a spike in your blood pressure. And some studies show that people who drink caffeine regularly have a higher average blood pressure, suggesting that caffeine might have a long-term impact.
Reduce your stress.Get regular health care.Visit your doctor regularly.
Talk to your family and friends about the dangers of high blood pressure. If they understand the potential complications of uncontrolled high blood pressure, they're more likely to support your efforts to change unhealthy lifestyle habits. Be happy. Take care yourself. If you need any helps, don't hesitate to know me.
Regular physical activity — at least 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week — can lower your blood pressure by 4 to 9 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). And it doesn't take long to see a difference. If you've been sedentary, increasing your activity can lower your blood pressure within just a few weeks.
You must reduce sodium in your diet. But in this situation, YOU MUST TOTALLY AVOID TAKING SALT IN YOUR FOODS.
