The Takeaway: Lower Blood Pressure Naturally

Adopt the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish, and nuts and limits fats, red meats, sweets, and sugary drinks.

Cut down on salt; flavor food with herbs instead.

Drink less alcohol (maximum of one drink a day for women, two drinks for men).

Get regular exercise and do strength training to lower blood pressure.

Alcohol also increases blood pressure, and imbibing more than one drink per day for women, or two for men, may lead to hypertension. One drink is equal to 12 ounces (360 ml) of beer, 4 ounces (120 ml) of wine, 1.5 ounces (45 ml) of 80-proof distilled spirits, or 1 ounce (30 ml) of 100-proof spirits.
