Managing Your Blood Pressure


10 Healthy Habits That'll Keep Your Blood Pressure Down
Reduce Salt Intake

Limiting the amount of sodium (salt) in your diet can also help control high blood pressure. General guidelines are to consume less than 2,400 milligrams of sodium per day, but if you already have high blood pressure, that number drops. And the lower your sodium intake, the better it is for your blood pressure. In one study, people who consumed less than 1,500 mg of sodium a day experienced the most significant reductions in blood pressure. Remember to count the sodium in packaged foods as well as any table salt you use when calculating how much you’re eating.
