Do at least 150 minutes of regular physical activity or exercise every week, or around 30 minutes most days of the week. This can help you lower your high blood pressure by roughly 5 millimeters of mercury.

Choose a diet high in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy.

For most adults, limiting sodium chloride (table salt) intake to 2300 mg per day or less than 1500 mg per day is optimum.

If you drink alcohol, limit yourself to one serving for women and two servings for males.

The best way to reduce your risk of heart disease is to stop smoking.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

The force with which our heart pumps blood to all regions of the body is measured by blood pressure. When blood pressure is too high, it is known as hypertension. Hardened arteries (blood vessels) can develop as a result of this illness, reducing blood and oxygen flow to the heart. High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to angina (chest discomfort) and heart attacks (when the heart’s blood supply is cut off), as well as brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. A blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer can be used to detect high blood pressure. The pressure created when the heart pumps blood out is known as systolic pressure. Diastolic pressure, on the other hand, is the pressure in your heart while it is at rest between heartbeats. The systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg, and the diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg if your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg. The ideal blood pressure range is 90/60 mm Hg and 120/80 mm Hg.
