Coming from someone who has high blood pressure! To manage it:

1. Eat healthy: reduce salt, follow a DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, and eat more potassium-rich foods
2. Stay active: aim for 150 minutes of exercise per week
3. Lose weight: even small amounts of weight loss can significantly lower blood pressure
4. Limit alcohol
5. Quit smoking
6. Manage stress: practice relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing
7. Get good sleep: aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night

You can start seeing improvements as early as a few weeks, with it being more noticeable within 1-3 months!
