Does losing weight lower high blood pressure?



My moms is 190 over 70. She just went on medication for it.

either mom misunderstood the doc or she has controverted what he/she said.

Losing weight DOES help lower BP - almost every time.

In fact, EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT (85%) of high BP patients can get off ALL BP medication if they achieve ideal body weight.

Think of the money we would save if we just maintained ideal body weight!!

She should drink skim milk one glass twice a day (proven effective to lower BP and cause her to lose 10% of body weight in 6 months).

She needs fewer carbs, more fiber and more exercise.

Good luck with your mom's good health!!
that's a heart attack waiting to happen. And yes watching what she eats, and excersising will lower her blood pressure significantly!
directly no, indirectly there is a good chance
It is always better to maintain your wait in propotion to your height. You get this standard height - weight ratio chart. Pl try to maitain your weight and it will help ypu in the long run.
