High blood pressure is the number one killer, period. The best way to treat it is see a Doctor -- it can numerous causes and you need to find the cause and go through the tests.

However, if you want to prevent high blood pressue, avoid salty and fatty foods, and walk or swim every other day. Even then, sometimes if you do all the right things you still can get high blood pressure. It can be inherited or you could have a stressful job.

Sometimes you see articles about high school atheletes who live a good life style but still die from high blood pressure. You should have your blood pressure tested regularly once you reach your twenties. You shouldn't even think of taking chances with it, the best way is to see your Doctor and do what he says and take what he prescribes.

Answer 3

Get regular exercise, maintain a normal weight, control stress, if you get three or more readings where the top number is over 140 or the bottom number is over 80 you need to talk to your doctor about medication and then take it regularly. Salt intake use to be considered very important in the control of BP but it has been found that in many patients it really doesn't affect it much so you will need to evaluate that on a personal basis.
