Lifestyle Changes to Improve Blood Pressure

Healthy lifestyle changes are an important first step for lowering blood pressure.

  • Exercise at least 30 minutes a day
  • Maintain normal weight
  • Reduce salt intake
  • Increase potassium intake
  • Limit alcohol consumption
  • Consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products while reducing total and saturated fat intake. (The DASH diet is one way of achieving such a dietary plan.)
