Continued from Yesterday:
Take charge now!
Maintain a healthy weight; lose weight if you are overweight.
Exercise regularly – a minimum of 30-minutes of a moderate intensity exercise regime such as walking is recommended.
Limit your salt intake to less than 2,400mg (about 1-teaspoon). A high intake of sodium in the diet can increase blood pressure in about 40% of individuals.
Consume fruits, vegetables and a low-fat diet.
If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation.
Relaxation and deep breathing exercises are beneficial.
Avoid too much caffeine. Several cups of coffee can mildly increase blood pressure throughout the day.
Continued Tomorrow
