Hypertension can
be prevented and/or

make certain
lifestyle changes.
These changes
include:

Eat a healthy diet –

Ask your nurse or
dietitian how you
can make healthier
food choices. This
means eating
more fresh fruits,
vegetables, lowfat
dairy products, nuts
and legumes,
soluble fiber (i.e.,
kidney beans,
Lentils and oats)
and nominal
protein (i.e., soy).

Eat less salt –

Eating less salt can
reduce your blood
pressure. Choose
foods that are low
in salt, avoid
Adding extra salt to
your food while
cooking or at the
dinner table and eat
fewer packaged
foods. You should
Eat less than 1
teaspoon (2300mg)
of salt per day from
all sources.

Exercise – Exercise
will help you
maintain a healthy
weight and should
be done at least 4
days a week for
30 to 60 minutes or
more each session.
Activities for older
adults can include
walking, gardening,
golfing, Tai
Chi and light
weight training.

Stop smoking –
Smoking makes
your blood vessels
more narrow which
raises your blood
pressure and can
Lead to heart
disease,
cardiovascular
disease and stroke.

Limit alcohol –
Alcohol should be
limited to 2
standard size drinks
for men and 1
standard size drink
for
Women per day.
Men should have
no more than 14
drinks and women
no more than 9
drinks per week.
1 standard drink =
1 beer (12 oz.) or 1
glass of wine (5
oz.) or 1.5 oz. of
spirits.

Manage stress –
Your nurse can
help you
understand how
you react to
stressful events and
can give you
advice on how to
manage stress in
your life. Learning
how to deal with
stress and finding
ways to relax will
improve your
overall good health.
Good coping ideas
are: exercising,
getting enough rest,
laughing and
asking
for help from
others if you need
it.

Medications –
Many people with
hypertension will
have to take 2 or
more prescription
drugs along with
making
lifestyle changes to
control their blood
pressure. It is
important to keep
taking your blood
pressure
medications
regularly in order
for them to work. If
you have questions,
speak to your nurse
or other healthcare
provider.
