1. Regular exercise. This is at the top of the list when it comes to keeping blood pressure at safe levels. Light to moderate exercises such as jogging, walking, or yoga, are good places to start, especially if you haven't been active recently.

Make sure, though, that you don't fall victim to the “weekend warrior” syndrome. To be really effective, your workout routine has to be spread out among the days of the week. Exercising 5 out of 7 days is a good place to be, but so is working out every other day.

2. Healthy diet. Fad diets aren't the way to go, because they don't work for everyone. To be safe, stock up on fruits and veggies, whole grains, and low-fat milk and cheese. Vitamins and minerals, plus fibre will help you tap into your body's healing powers. Not to mention help you get rid of toxins.

Cut back on tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine, and drink plenty of water. Occasional treats are okay, as long as you don't overdo it. Sounds too simple to be true? That means its simpler to break, so keep a food diary if you need to keep track of your eating habits.

3. Less stress. Both this and anxiety can often have a negative effect on your blood pressure, so taking some time to think about what's causing the stress can help ease it some. Acknowledge the causes, but don't dwell on them.

You can also try taking a more proactive approach when faced with possible causes of stress, instead of playing the victim. Hate the traffic on the way to work? Leave home earlier to avoid it. Find an alternate flight if your first one gets cancelled. Using a hypnosis product to help you stay relaxed or handle stress better can help, too.
