Lifestyle, meds: Healthy lifestyle ( maintenance of normal weight, diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein , good fats, regular exercise, sufficient rest, avoidance of tobacco) is the first step in controlling blood pressure. Medication can be added when lifestyle changes alone do not maintain blood pressure in normal range.

Very complex...: Hight blood pressure is a result of many factors - including, lifestyle, smoking status, genetics... What is always beneficial : read label of food and avoid extra sodium ! no salty snacks, no processed food ( nothing in box , package, can etc)! if you smoke - quit! exercise daily or walk 10 000 steps a day! drink more water ! if overweight loose weight ! avoid red meat- stick to"mediterran diet".
