How can i control my blood pressure best? diet or exercise or meds
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All 3 of them: Why not? All three of them are important for BP control. If you lose weight to a normal range you may not need medication or need very little amount. Aerobic exercise is better initially but later you can add resistance training 2 times a week.
