How can I manage my high blood pressure better as I was told it can not be cured but managed?

Bring down your weight by eating healthily and exercise at least 30mins every day.I usually prefer light weight to aerobics.If one can do both simultaneously,perfect.

Hi Emy,

Eat clean food only, ie, nothing processed.

Double your fruit & vegetable intake, aim for 10 fruit & veg portions a day.

Eat nuts & seeds if you need to snack, & cut out salt.

I also am having problems with my blood pressure overweight and not exercising agree about trying to loose weight and exercise but at 67 bit lazy these days. Seems ro be during the night as its hi in the mornings, then I take my 10 mg of rampril seems to get lower during the day?

Thanks Concerned, I didn't know that.

My BP is always low & my blood flows like water, so that's clearly never affected me in a negative way. I eat a lot of fruit, more than veg in summer. The potassium in fruit & veg balances cell osmosis, counteracting sodium, so does fructose prevent that process altogether, or does it vary between people?
