Accepted Answer

See below: Blood pressure is best taken first thing, before getting out of bed. Repeated readings on oneself may show rising blood pressure due to anxiety, exertion during the day and psyching yourself out. The first reading is likely to be the most accurate.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.
