I have high BP like all the males on my dad's side. It's around 140-150 and spikes up easily.
They all take meds, I should probably go on them too.
I run daily, quit cigs years ago but need to quit drinking.
Just eat a normal healthy diet but maintain a healthy weight. Avoid salt, drink more water.
My kidney function is down because of it.
If you're a fatty you need to drop weight

basically cook your own meals and don't add salt
double check your labels for Na content
avoid fast food. even stuff you think is 'healthy' is loaded with salt, fat, cholesterol, and sugar

lower sodium intake

americans eat insane amounts of salt through cold cuts, cheese, condiments, frozen foods, energy drink, preseasoned meats

See a doctor and find the source of what is making you at risk for hypertension.
It could be as easy as reducing caffeine intake or as complex as fucked up adrenals.

My kidneys are fucked, I have gout setting in and I'm sterile. All the organs in your body with fine, micro blood vessels get thrashed and you are likely to eventually have a stroke

Use msg instead of salt. Drink more water. Avoid coffee - maybe switch to tea. Try to reduce stress - consider meditating and exercise, best thing to do is take up a physical activity as a hobby that you actually finding fun (my dad hikes and does cross country’s skiing, for example - easier to get yourself to do than like, waking up early to bore yourself by going running)

Spironolactone.

Lowers blood pressure. Side effects include muscle loss, softening of skin, and breast growth, but for me it's definitely been worth it overall.
