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.
