Struggle with your high blood pressure? Maybe these tips will help with the confusion and make things easier to understand.

1. Take
Control of
Your High
Blood
Pressure!

2. What is high
Blood
Pressure?
High blood pressure is a common and dangerous condition.
Having high blood pressure means the pressure of the
blood in your blood vessels is higher than it should be. You
can take steps to control your blood pressure and lower
your risk of heart disease and stroke.
About 1 of 3 U.S. adults or about 75 million people have
high blood pressure. Only about half (54%) of these people
have their high blood pressure under control.
This common condition increases the risk for heart disease
and stroke, two of the leading causes of death for
Americans.

3. “Silent Killer”
High blood pressure is called the “silent killer” because it
often has no warning signs or symptoms, and many people
do not know they have it. That’s why it is important to check
your blood pressure regularly.

4. Lifestyle
Lifestyle plays an important role
in treating your high blood
pressure. If you successfully
control your blood pressure
with a healthy lifestyle, you
might avoid, delay or reduce
the need for medication.

5. Weight loss
Weight loss is one of the
most effective lifestyle
changes for controlling
blood pressure. Losing
even a small amount of
weight if you're overweight
or obese can help reduce
your blood pressure.

6. Exercise
Regular physical
activity. Minimum 30
minutes 5 days a week
can lower your blood
pressure by about 5 to 8
mm Hg.. It's important
to be consistent
because if you stop
exercising, your blood
pressure can rise again.

7. Eat Healthy
A diet rich with the following FRESH foods
will help reduce high blood pressure:
All vegetables but especially green leafy
foods (lettuce, kale, collard greens,
spinach, swiss chard), broccoli, sweet
potatoes, mushrooms, peas, cucumbers,
zucchini, eggplant, squash, tomato,
pumpkin, all berries, beets, skim or low
fat/fat free dairy products, oatmeal, salmon,
tuna, cod, trout, rock fish, beans (pinto,
lima, kidney, soybean), and brown rice.

8. Avoid in your diet
Salt, sodium, deli meat, frozen pizza, pickles,
canned (anything), sugar, packaged foods, bottled
tomato products, chicken skin, full fat dairy, red
meat, butter, alcohol, bacon, cheese, chinese food,
caffeine, frozen meals, cured ham, candy, soft
drinks, pastries, sauces, processed carbohydrates,
and fried foods.

9. Reduce Stress Chronic stress may contribute to high blood pressure.
Take some time to think about what causes you to feel
stressed, such as work, family, finances or illness. Once
you know what's causing your stress, consider how you can
eliminate or reduce stress.
If you can't eliminate all of your stressors, you can at least
cope with them in a healthier way.
Focus on priorities each day
Focus on the things you can control
Avoid stress triggers
Take time and relax daily
Practice gratitude

10. Monitor your
blood pressure
Monitoring your blood
pressure at home can help
you keep tabs on your blood
pressure, make certain your
lifestyle changes are working,
and alert you and your doctor
of any changes. Blood
pressure monitors are
available widely and without a
prescription.
