My family has been in a test study for years. I'm the only one who didn't have hgh blood pressure before I was 25. My mom was diagnosed while she was pregnant with me, so we NEVER had salt in the house. All these years later, both she & I have low sodium levels!!
Obviously, diet & exercise play a big part. Watch your fat intake especially, since that can play major havoc! And, if you are diagnosed or are close, get a good bp kit, take your pressure regularly, and find out what causes your pressure to go up. For example, heat and noise are two related factors for me. Stress will do it to just about everyone, so learn to put yourself in a relaxing place when necessary. I don't believe in yoga, but there are other ways to do it.
