There are choices you can make and steps you can take to reduce
high blood pressure and its associated disease risks.

Reduce High Blood Pressure by Modifying Your Risk Factors

From Quip Appropriate lifestyle changes are an effective first line as well as supportive treatment for those with high blood pressure (hypertension). If you take medication for hypertension (antihypertensives), please continue. Talk with your health care provider (HCP) because, as your lifestyle changes take effect, you may be able to avoid, reduce, or eliminate the medications.

If you have risk factors for hypertension you cannot change — older age, runs in your family, male gender, black, Hispanic, or Asian — it’s especially important to modify the risk factors that you can change.

There are four lifestyle changes proven to lower hypertension:

1. losing excess pounds,

2. following a health enhancing diet,

3. reducing sodium (salt), and

4. increasing physical activity.

Excess alcohol, stress, and tobacco usage are less directly linked to elevated blood pressure but because they increase the incidence, severity , and consequences of diseases associated with hypertension (stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and heart failure), they also should be modified.

Adapting lifestyle changes is important to controlling hypertension. Working with your HCP, your goal is to lower your elevated blood pressure, reduce the risk and severity of its associated disease, and reduce your antihypertensive medications. Make healthy choices your choice every day!

Adopting new habits

The basics are the same for changing any harmful behavior — from being inactive or eating poorly to using tobacco products, drinking excess alcohol, or reacting too strongly to stressors.

1. Decide it’s what you are going to do for your health.

2. Focus on the benefits rather than the challenges of the change you intend.

3. Create a plan you can follow. It's usually recommended you address one habit at a time. If you are overweight, it does work well to change your diet at the same time you increase your activity.

4. Announce your intention to change to the important people in your life... share your plan and ask them to hold you accountable to your plan.

5. Rid your environment of all temptations (substances, places, events, and friends who tempt you).

6. Involve yourself with persons who enjoy health enhancing activities. Seek out those who have attained the goals you're pursuing —they can mentor you and provide good role models.

7. Communicate daily with your most steadfast source of strength and perseverance, our Lord, Jesus Christ.
