Diet (
01:00
)
A healthy diet plays a crucial role in controlling BP.
DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is highly recommended.
Sodium (
01:19
)
Excess sodium causes water retention, raising BP.
Recommended intake: < 2,300 mg/day (preferably <1,500 mg for those with high BP).
Avoid processed foods, canned soups, and fast foods.
Potassium (
02:53
)
Helps counteract sodium’s effects and relax blood vessels.
Good sources: Bananas, oranges, spinach, sweet potatoes, beans.
Exercise (
03:38
)
Regular physical activity lowers BP.
Aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise/week (e.g., brisk walking, swimming, cycling).
Weight Loss (
04:46
)
Losing excess weight reduces heart strain.
Even a 5-10% reduction in body weight can significantly lower BP.
Alcohol (
05:02
)
Excessive drinking raises BP.
Limit to: Men – 2 drinks/day, Women – 1 drink/day.
Smoking (
05:13
)
Nicotine spikes BP and damages arteries.
Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term BP benefits.
Sleep (
05:28
)
Poor sleep increases BP risk.
Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night.
Stress (
06:11
)
Chronic stress leads to sustained high BP.
Practice meditation, deep breathing, and relaxation techniques.
Pets (

)
Owning pets, especially dogs, can help reduce stress and lower BP.
