Detailed explanation-2: -When there’s no obvious cause, doctors typically treat high blood pressure with medication. But certain risk factors are reversible, like quitting smoking, managing stress, following a healthier diet with less salt, getting regular exercise and losing weight.
Detailed explanation-3: -Regular aerobic exercise lowers systolic BP an average of 5 mm Hg and diastolic BP an average of 4 mm Hg. Adequate reduction of salt (sodium) in the diet leads to a similar average reduction in BP. Alcohol moderation (for those who drink) reduces systolic BP by approximately 4 mm Hg and diastolic BP by 2.5 mm Hg.

This approach has a name: the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet. It includes lean meats, poultry, fish, and nuts.
