Blood pressure: Losing weight if applicable, physical exercise, good quality sleep, relaxing activities (might sound cruel), low salt diet. Many cases are secondary to medical causes and they need to be addressed at the root.

DASH Diet 2 lower BP: Do the DASH diet. Get this book. Read it and do it if your team agrees. DASH Diet for Hypertension ISBN 9780743410076 Will lower systolic in 1 week and diastolic in 2. So check your BP every day when before and after starting. Use the App Chronometer to track your sodium and potassium intake to get to DASH goals. Many will get BP back to normal. Only way to tell if it works in U is 2 try.

See below: In addition to losing weight, regular exercise, reducing salt intake, you may need to take medication, following evaluation by your doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
