5 Tips To Avoid High Blood Pressure and Add 10 Years To Your Life

#1 Diet: Our diet is the main contributor to our hypertension. Health experts and nutritionists recommend that we follow a diet that is rich in whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, and nuts. Our diet should include adequate amounts of these nutrients.

#2 Reduce Salt Intake: We need some salt in our diet, but far less than we are used to having. Our diet should contain less than 1500 milligrams of sodium a day, most of which will come from our food.

#3 Drink Plenty of Water: We need to keep our bodies properly hydrated to maintain our health.

#4 Exercise: Our modern sedentary lifestyle has caused a massive increase in obesity across the "Western" world. Being overweight is a risk factor for developing hypertension.

#5 Relaxation: Even mild stress can raise our blood pressure. It is, therefore, important that we learn how to lower our stress levels as this can help lower our blood pressure.
