Don’t smoke and stop consuming alcohol: Drinking too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure. It also adds extra calories, which may cause weight gain. Cigarette smoking raises your blood pressure and puts you at higher risk for heart attack and stroke.

Healthy Diet: Choosing healthful meal and snack options can help you avoid high blood pressure and its complications. Be sure to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating foods low in salt (sodium) and high in potassium can lower your blood pressure. Eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products and skimps on saturated fat and cholesterol can lower your blood pressure.
