3.2 measures affecting your blood pressure positively
If your blood pressure is high or you want to avoid high blood pressure, your lifestyle should
generally be conducive to this goal.
Existing diseases: Strictly follow the instructions of your doctor to treat existing diseases e.g.,
diabetes, gout, disturbed lipid metabolism, etc..
Nutrition: Reduce overweight. Use little salt with your food, avoid food with lots of fat.
Smoking, drinking: No smoking! Consume only little alcohol and coffee.
Sport activities: If advised by your doctor after an examination, practice stamina sports
(jogging, swimming). Avoid sports involving strength, do not try your limits!
3.3 how to obtain accurate readings
The blood pressure is constantly changing throughout a day. The changes are caused by psychic
and physical factors, such as anxiety, exercise, smoking, caffeine and stress. Because it is
changing, the blood pressure should always be measured at the same time of day, when your
body is relaxed. It is the physician’s responsibility to interpret the readings and analyze your physi-
cal condition. It is important that you consult your physician regularly. He will tell you your normal
blood pressure and what you should take care of.
