Treatment of high blood pressure

If your blood pressure reaches upper values of 140
- 160 mmHg and lower values of 90 - 95 mmHg in
repeated measurements over several days, you
should consult your doctor for detailed medical
examination. You can assist the treatment
prescribed by your doctor in the following ways:
• Loose weight and lower your cholesterol level by
reducing the calories and fat in your diet. Cut down
on animal fats and eat more fruit and vegetables.
• Reduce the consumption of alcohol.
• Reduce the intake of salt: the German League
for Combating High Blood Pressure recommends
six grams of salt per day (i.e. one teaspoon) on
24
average.
• Stop smoking.
• Take regular exercise.
• Monitor your blood pressure.
