Q. What is the best treatment for high blood pressure?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
The best treatment for high blood pressure is a combination of diet, exercise, and medication. If you are overweight, losing weight is one of the most important things you can do to lower your blood pressure. Eating a healthy diet that is low in sodium and saturated fat and rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can also help to lower blood pressure. Exercise can also help to lower blood pressure by increasing the amount of oxygen-rich blood flowing through your body. Finally, if lifestyle changes alone do not control your blood pressure, medications may be necessary.
