Depends.: It depends on how high your pressure is and what else is going on. Certainly, weight control, low sodium diet, exercise, and whole foods will get you off to a good start. There are other things as well that may help depending on your situation. Get in to see you physician to discuss your options. Take care.

Decrease : Your salt intake. That will help you the most. You can even substitute KCL salt for the usual NaCl salt we use. This will help as well if salt is a necessity in your diet. Hope that helps.

Yes but . . .: Work closely w/your family doc. Check your blood pressure at home then bring in both record & cuff for calibration. Know your numbers. If you smoke, quit. If you don't exercise, start. Change eating habits to (low salt) DASH diet which has been proven to help lower BP. If this isn't enough, then discuss drug options w/your doc to reduce risk of stroke, heart failure & kidney failure from high BP.
