10 Tips To Help You Control High Blood Pressure     1. Make sure your blood pressure is under 140/90 mm Hg. If your systolic pressure (the top number) is over 140, ask your doctor what you can do to lower it.   2. Take your high blood pressure medicine, if prescribed, every day.

You may be surprised at how much sodium you consume each day and the diary will help you decide which foods to decrease or eliminate.   8. Use spices and herbs instead of salt to season the food you prepare at home.   9. Eat more fruits, vegetables, grains, and low-fat dairy foods.   10.
