Managing High Blood Pressure: Everyday Habits That Make a Difference

Managing High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a common but manageable condition. At Kent Medical Group, we help patients take control of their health with lifestyle strategies and regular monitoring.

Lifestyle Habits to Lower Blood Pressure

• Eat a balanced diet: Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins.

• Reduce salt intake: Processed foods often contain hidden sodium.

• Exercise regularly: 30 minutes most days improves heart health.

• Limit alcohol and avoid tobacco: Both raise blood pressure.

• Manage stress: Meditation, yoga, or deep-breathing exercises help.

When to See a Primary Care Provider

• Regular monitoring helps track your progress.

• Your PCP may recommend medication if lifestyle changes aren’t enough.

• Managing blood pressure reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
