10 Ways to Control Your High Blood Pressure Here is a “crash course” on how to control your blood pressure. Sometimes less is more. Source taken from American Association for the Advancement of Science. 1. Know your blood pressure. Have it checked regularly. 2. Know what your weight should be. Keep it at that level or below. 3. Don’t use excessive salt in cooking or at meals. Avoid salty foods. 4. Eat a low-fat diet according to American Heart Association recommendations. 5. Don’t smoke cigarettes or use tobacco products. 6. Take your medicine exactly as prescribed. Don’t run out of pills even for a single day. 7. Keep appointments with the doctor. 8. Follow your doctor’s advice about exercise. 9. Make certain your parents, brothers, sisters and children have their blood pressure checked regularly. 10. Live a normal life in every other way. Note: I beg to differ on point no. 6. There are ways to control your blood pressure naturally. Depending on medications in the long run is not the most perfect solution. Of course, if you are suffering from stage 2 hypertension, you need the drugs to control your condition. It solely depends on your health conditions.
