Step 5
Learn how to meditate, or do yoga to help relax your body and
manage stress levels if you have high blood pressure. Practice
deep breathing by breathing slowly in through your nose and out
through your mouth several times per day.
Tips
Ask parents, grandparents, and other family members about any
family history of diabetes, circulatory diseases, or high blood
pressure. This will help give you a clue as to warning signs to
watch for, and areas to focus on in prevention. Report any
findings to your doctor.
Exercising regularly and controlling weight are just two of the
ten ways keep your kidneys healthy.
