How can you prevent high blood pressure?

Get Family History!: Holiday family gatherings are excellent times to ask family members about their health histories. Learning about what symptoms, conditions, treatments they had can be helpful. It is also important to find out how their siblings prevented getting a condition like hypertension. Did they eat right stay slim, exercise, avoid tobacco, manage stress? Those are things people can do to try to prevent it.

Several ways: You can prevent high blood pressure in many ways. You can excercise approximately 30 mins every day, decrease salt in your diet, maintain a healthy weight for your height, quit smoking, and limiting alcohol intake.

Blood pressure: If you're overweight, lose weight and stay height-weight proportionate. Stay in good phyiscal condition and eat a balanced diet. But you cannot do anything about genetic predisposition (not strictly inherited, but trends run in families) or the other mostly unknown causes. If your BP is elevated, follow your doctor's advice about treatment and perhaps limting salt intake in your diet.
