whats the best way to cure high blood pressure if you are 35!!!?
Question:
Answers:
Lifestyle options include changing what you eat and your activity level.
Quitting smoking and moderating alcohol consumption will also help keep your blood pressure in the healthy range.
Maintain a healthy weight.
If you are overweight or obese, lose weight. Aim for a healthy weight range for your height and body type. Your health care provider can help you calculate a target weight.
Even a small amount of weight loss can make a major difference in lowering or preventing high blood pressure.
To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you take in.
Crash or fad diets are not helpful and may be dangerous.
Some weight loss medications also carry major risks, and great caution is advised in using these drugs.
The healthiest and longest-lasting weight loss requires slow loss, such as losing one-half to 1 pound each week. Eating 500 calories less than you burn every day may help achieve this goal. In a week, you will eat 3500 calories less than you burn, which is enough to lose 1 pound.
Increasing your physical activity will help you burn more calories.
Lose weight and keep it off.
Choose foods low in calories and fat. Fat is a concentrated source of calories. You should cut down on butter, margarine, regular salad dressing, fatty or red meats, the skin of poultry, whole milk, cheese, fried foods, ice cream, many cookies, cakes, pastries, and snacks.
Instead, choose baked, broiled, or poached chicken and turkey (without skin), fish, lean cuts of meat (such as round or sirloin); skim, 1%, or evaporated milk; lower fat, low-sodium cheeses; fresh, frozen, or canned fruit or vegetables (without butter, cream, or cheese sauces); plain rice and pasta; English muffins; bagels; sandwich bread and rolls; soft tortillas; cold (ready-to-eat) and hot whole-grain cereals (avoid "instant" types, which are high in sodium).
Choose foods high in starch and fiber: These foods are low in fat and also good sources of vitamins and minerals. Try fruits, vegetables, whole-grain cereals, pasta, rice, and dry peas and beans.
Limit serving sizes: You should especially try to take smaller helpings of high-calorie foods such as meats and cheeses. Try to avoid the temptation of going back for seconds.
Write down what you eat and when: It may be helpful to track your habits. You should note where you are and what you are doing when you snack on high-calorie foods. For instance, many people snack while watching television. Or do you skip breakfast and then eat a large lunch? Identifying your eating patterns can help you overcome the situations in which you overeat.
Replace high-calorie, high-fat snacks with fresh fruits, air-popped popcorn (without salt or butter), or unsalted pretzels. If there is no time for breakfast, take a low-fat muffin, a bagel (without cream cheese), or cereal along to eat at work. This will reduce the craving for a large lunch.
Exercise or increase physical activity.
Physical activity burns calories, helps you lose weight, and reduces stress.
Physical activity reduces total cholesterol and bad cholesterol (LDL) and raises the good cholesterol (HDL).
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends at least 30 minutes of exercise every other day for cardiovascular fitness. The Surgeon General recommends 30 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week.
Physical activity doesn't have to mean running a marathon. House cleaning or playing golf or baseball can burn as many as 300 calories per hour; brisk walking (at 3.5 mph), cycling (at 5.5 mph), gardening, dancing, or playing basketball burns as many as 450 calories per hour; jogging (9 min/mile), playing football, or swimming can burn as many as 730 calories per hour; and running (7 min/mile), racquetball, or skiing can burn as many as 920 calories per hour.
You can fit physical exercise into your daily routine.
Use the stairs instead of the elevator.
Get off the bus 1 or 2 stops early and walk the rest of the way.
Park farther away from the store or office.
Ride a bike.
Work in the yard or garden.
Clean house.
Wash the car the old-fashioned way.
Go dancing.
General tips for controlling blood pressure include the following:
Reduce sodium (salt) intake.
Limit alcohol to no more than 2 drinks a day.
Quit smoking.
Take medicines as directed.
Medication is an important part of blood pressure control for almost everybody with high blood pressure. Many people cannot keep their blood pressure in the healthy range by lifestyle changes alone.
Only 21% of people with high blood pressure are on blood pressure medicines and have their pressure adequately controlled.
At least 16% of people with high blood pressure are not on any medication.
Approximately 28% are taking medicines incorrectly, and their blood pressure is uncontrolled.
Therefore, the biggest challenge in the treatment of high blood pressure is taking the medication correctly.

Go to your doctor and get that little thing they call "high blood pressure medicine"
Red wine once a day, healthy diet, exercise and an unstressful environment.
Diet and exercise!! Exercise at least 30 minutes a day and cut all the crud out of your diet. If you smoke - STOP!
Get to a doctor for medication.
Once you are at less risk, begin a diet and exercise regimen with the approval of your doctor. In many cases, diet and exercise will lower your blood pressure so that you can cease the medication.
Less stress, less salt intake, more fruit, more exercise=lower blood pressure. Good Luck!
Don't ask people on youqa.coms. Go to a doctor. Have tests done and determine why you have high blood pressure. Then a doctor can prescribe a treatment plan. If you aren't confident in the first doctor, get a second opinion.
If you knew why you have high blood pressure and stated so in your question, youqa.coms might provide some help. But without knowing why you have high blood pressure, you can't begin to cure it.
ride a bike for 30 min a day and get a divorce (if your married)
