Best Answer

The best way to control blood pressure is through a good low salt diet that is high in fruits and vegetables combined with weight loss and exercise.

For many people this will not be enough and medication will be required. The blood pressure targets can vary depending on situation but for most people we would like it to be below 120/80 and would give medications if it is above 140/90 despite the lifestyle modifications above.
