How Can Blood Pressure Be Lowered?

Hi just took my blood pressure it is 163/104 I took it again went to 159/100. I drink beer everyday and been working on the road for the last two years and haven t eaten very well. If I cut the beer out and eat healthy how long would it take for the blood pressure to go down.

Hi,

Lose extra pounds and watch your waistline. Blood pressure often increases as weight increases.

- Exercise regularly.
- Eat a healthy diet.
- Reduce sodium in your diet.
- Limit the amount of alcohol you drink.
- Quit smoking.
- Cut back on caffeine.
- Reduce your stress.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Monish De,
