Can lifestyle change work?

Hi everyone, so pleased I've found this forum, it's been an awful feeling to find out I have high and sometimes surging bp. Does anyone know of where to find information on how others might have made significant improvements from lifestyle change instead of medication.

You might want to evaluate your diet. Of course lowering salt and reducing red meat consumption are the biggies, but also limiting sugar and upping your fruit and veggie consumption. Apparently the potassium in fruits and veggies can help regulate bp. Here's a good article. articles.mercola.com/sites/...

Lots of info and good advice.

Yes, I think you can turn high BP around with lifestyle changes but you have to be very strong willed and committed!

Have you considered working with a Health Coach?
