What helps high blood pressure. and how to lose weight?

Watch salt, lose wt: BP is in 90% of cases a function of genetic susceptibility (increased vascular tone) and lifestyle factors (wt, salt intake, alcohol, smoking). Body wt is 60% water, so sharp volume increases drive up bp. Improving lifestyle factors can typically drop BP 10-15 points. For many, that's not enough and meds will be required. Lowering BP <140/90 (130/80 in diabetics) lowers heart and vasc risk.
