Blood pressure: Normal blood pressure numbers are decreasing all the time. Good care for blood pressure would be reducing to a normal body weight, regular aerobic exercise, quitting smoking/secondary smoke exposure, reducing salt in the diet and reducing stress. Any of these issues could increase your blood pressure.
