The most common contributor to high blood pressure is high Na and flow K diet. This cause of HBP can be quickly improved by moving to the DASH eating plan, How do you know if your BP is DASH diet sensitive? 1. Use the app Cronometer to tract your Na/K intake for a few days. If intake not DASH goal discuss with your Drs. If they agree do the DASH for 2 wks to see effect on BP.

Losing weight is imperative. Not easy,but essential. Reduce your caloric intake and increase physical activity. Joining a support group like weight watchers may help.
