1 Answer

To fix blood pressure without medications, you need to change lifestyle: exercise at least 30 minutes five days a week, avoid salty foods and definitely dont add salt to your food. If high blood pressure runs in your family, just these lifestyle modifications might not be enough, and your doctor may still need to put you on medications. However, the number of medications you take will be affected by what you do, so keep up with the exercising and try not to eat any salt.
