10 Tips To Help You Control High Blood Pressure :

  2. Take your high blood pressure medicine, if prescribed, every day. If you have questions, talk to your doctor.

  3. Aim for a healthy weight. If you are overweight or obese, carrying this extra weight increases your risk of high blood pressure.

  8. Use spices and herbs instead of salt to season the food you prepare at home.

  9. Eat more fruits, vegetables, grains, and low-fat dairy foods.

  10. If you consume alcohol at all, consume moderate amount or restrict...
