High blood pressure may be prevented by living a healthy lifestyle, including some of the following:
* eating a nutritious, low-fat diet;
* exercising regularly;
* decreasing salt (sodium) intake, read food labels so you know the salt content before you buy a product in the grocery store or eating a meal at a fast food restaurant, and avoid adding salt to foods;
* maintain a healthy weight and if you are overweight or obese, try to lose weight;
* drink alcohol in moderation;
* stop smoking;
* get routine health assessments and blood pressure screening;
* taking your blood pressure medications as directed, even if you’re feeling fine; and
* reduce stress and practice relaxation techniques, physical activity will help with this.
