BP treatment: The treatment of essential hypertension is, reduction of weight, salt intake, stopping smoking, decrease of alcohol consumption and increased exercise, to start. In some patients, this may not be enough. Not all patients can avoid taking drugs for hbp and as they age, the number of drugs may increase. Taking BP meds is worth the risk. If you take them and control your bp, you avoid complications.

Blood pressure: Low salt diet daily; avoid saturated fat foods; minimize animal protein to 30-40 grams per day. High intake of magnesium and potassium containing foods (fruit and some veg). Drink at least 3 liters fluid per day.
