Treatment

__Treatment__ __Treatment to manage Hypertension__ If you have regular checkups with the doctor the doctor will know if you have Hypertension. So if the doctor finds that you have mild Hypertension maybe 'Pre Hypertension' it can be treated. __To treat it you have to:__  Note: consult with your doctor about these points.
 * Eat high fiber and protein, low fat, low salt, lots of fruit, lots of vegetables.
 * exercise regularly, 30 minutes a day to get the heart moving.
 * lose weight if you have a weight problem
 * don't smoke
 * limit your alcohol

__Aged people with Hypertension__ An aging person with Hypertension is possible to treat and sometimes cure. The process takes a longer time as there is more to treat. When aging the arteries are less elastic so with the pressure of the blood hitting the fatty plaques (atherosclerosis) it will accelerate deterioration rather than treatment. This is only due to aging so further medication and treatment to manage Hypertension above will eventually put you into a normal state.
 * There are some drugs that doctors can apply to relax the heart to keep the blood flow smooth through the arteries.
