      High blood pressure or hypertension is a common condition which if not controlled can lead to complications in the body. There are medications that can be used to lower the blood pressure in severe cases but the best mode of control is by living healthy. Lifestyle changes that can help lower or regulate blood pressure include; maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, reducing salt/sodium intake, limiting the amount of alcohol intake and managing stress.
