What can I do to reduce the chances of getting high blood pressure?


There is a strong family history of heart conditions and hypertension. What can I do to reduce the effects on me, I'm under 40 years old and BP is normal at the moment.

Three things are thought to reduce BP and the risk of developing hypertension the disease.
1) Be as close to your ideal weight as possible.
2) Keep your salt intake low.
3) Take regular,vigorous exercise.

Even then there is no guarantee as more that 90% of hypertension is called 'idiopathic' which means we don't know why it is there. Source(s): GP for more years than I care to remember
Quit smoking
Low salt diet
Regular exercise
Lower the fat intake

Lose weight

reduce your salt intake, drink 8 glass of water, stressless and eat lots of veggies. and oh, yeah, excersise!
(can't forget that one) *smiles*
Try to exercise at lease 4-5 times a week. If you walk, make sure you go for at least a half hour. Cut WAY back on salt and processed foods, and increase your intake of fresh fruits and veggies. There is a rumor that garlic can help with maintaining blood pressure. If it runs in your family, you are predisposed. Whether you want to or not, you may need to consider medication if yours goes up too high. No one wants to do that, but remember it is called the "silent killer." It's hard to detect until it is too late, sometimes. You run the risk of stroke as well as heart conditions. Just keep an eye on it. Good luck. :-)
