Lower blood pressure: To do it immediately, and depending on the severity of your numbers, you should see a doctor and get prescribed anti-hypertensive medications. In the long run, you could lose weight, exercise, cut out fatty/cholesterol rich foods that over time will clog your arteries and worsen BP, decrease salt in your diet, stop smoking if you smoke, and overall live a healthier lifestyle to improve outcomes.

Depends: Hi. If you're obese or overweight, weight loss may lower BP. Regular exercise may help lower BP. Weight loss is easier said than done, however. The most direct and proven means is to take BP meds ("antihypertensives"). Personally, I would never put off treating high BP with the hope that weight loss or exercise might control it. High BP injures and kills. Ask your doc. Good luck!

To v blood pressure: work with your physician. If you are overweight – lose that excess weight. Exercise regularly – go for 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week. Watch you salt intake & avoid processed foods. Moderate alcohol use (or don't drink). Don't use tobacco products & avoid 2nd hand smoke. V caffeine. De-stress (acupuncture, meditation, yoga, etc).

Low salt diet: There are several things that can help lower blood pressure. Eating a diet very low in sodium (salt) can be very helpful. 80% of Americans with high blood pressure have salt sensitive hypertension and will benefit from a low salt diet. Regular exercise, eg. walking 30 minutes/day, has also been shown to be beneficial in lowering blood pressure. There are many meds available for treating high BP
