How to Maintain Healthy Blood Pressure at Any Age
Whether you’re 25 or 75, the following lifestyle habits can help you maintain or lower your blood pressure — naturally.
Maintain a Healthy Weight

Eat a Heart-Healthy Diet
Prioritize:
- Vegetables and fruits
- Whole grains
- Low-fat dairy
- Lean proteins
Avoid: - Excess salt
- Saturated fats
- Trans fats

The DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is highly recommended for managing blood pressure.
Stay Active
Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise (like walking, swimming, or cycling) each week. Daily movement helps keep your heart strong and your vessels flexible.
