How To Treat High Blood Pressure At Home

5. Reduce Sodium

Reducing dietary sodium levels by even a small amount may lower blood pressure by up to eight milligrams of mercury. People with high blood pressure are advised to limit sodium intake to less than two thousand three hundred milligrams each day. Limiting sodium intake to include less than one thousand five hundred milligrams each day is recommended for people with a greater salt sensitivity, including people over the age of fifty-one, African-Americans, and anyone who has been diagnosed with diabetes, chronic kidney disease or high blood pressure.
