Optimal ways to lower and control your blood pressure (Roizon article)
Many of the 116 million adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure — defined as having a top number (systolic pressure) above 130 and a lower number (diastolic pressure) above 80, or having lowered it by taking medication. Unfortunately, only about 24% of those folks have their blood pressure under control.
Now, a study in JAMA offers a clear picture of the best ways to control high blood pressure.
— Optimal non-medication steps, which should be taken first, include: Weight loss achieved through calorie restriction and exercise; increased potassium in the diet (best choice) and through supplementation; adopting the DASH or Mediterranean diet; aerobics and strength training 40 to 60 minutes at least three times a week; and minimal or no alcohol intake.
— Medications are the second line of defense and can lower blood pressure by 10, 20 or 30mmHg, reducing cardiovascular events by 29%, 52% and 54% respectively. The first choice for meds: Thiazide diuretics, calcium channel blockers, and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers — and sometimes two-drug combinations.
Not to put pressure on you, but if your blood pressure isn’t controlled, are you ready to take these lifestyle steps and talk to your doc about treatment choices? It’s advice worth taking to heart.
