Healthy living: By hbp, i assume you mean high blood pressure. If you're overweight or obese, get rid of the extra pounds (kilos). Do so by eating right & exercising regularly. Dietary approaches to stop hypertension (dash) diet has much research behind it (http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/dash-diet/hi00047). Don't forget 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity most days of week (at least 150min/wk).

Many answers!: If your blood pressure is high, there are a number of things that can help manage it: maintaining a normal weight, getting regular exercise, and taking your blood pressure medications carefully. Watch your salt intake. Salt is notoriously hidden in prepared foods, canned soups, and soy sauce. You might want to buy a home BP cuff so you can watch your own BP more closely. It can pay off! lgromko md.
