The methods to control hypertension are as follows: 1. Lifestyle adjustment: reduce the burden of thought, adopt an active and healthy lifestyle, and exercise appropriately; 2. Dietary habit adjustment: advocate less salt, a light diet, consume more fiber or vitamin-rich foods, reduce the amount of fat, and quit smoking and alcohol; 3. Good work and rest schedule: ensure regular rest and prohibit staying up late; 4. Medication: if blood pressure is still elevated after diet and lifestyle adjustment, use medication for effective control.
