Abstract

Hypertension (HTN) is fast emerging as a modern epidemic in the world. It is the leading and most important modifiable risk factor for heart diseases, stroke, renal diseases and retinopathy. Appropriate lifestyle changes are the cornerstone for the prevention of hypertension. It can be prevented by simply adopting a healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle measures that have been shown to be capable of reducing blood pressure include: (i) salt restriction, (ii) Diet, (iii) moderation of alcohol consumption, (iv) stopping smoking, (v) weight reduction and maintenance, (vi) regular physical exercise and (vii) stress. This review article investigates the role of lifestyle modification in preventing hypertension.
