Healthy Lifestyle Changes
Taking Benicar or Benicar HCT can be an important part of your treatment plan. But managing blood pressure is also about making healthy changes to your lifestyle.
To help lower your blood pressure and help you close in on your goal, your doctor may ask that you eat healthy foods and cut down on salt. He or she may also advise you to be more active and to try and manage stress from day to day. Be sure to talk with your doctor about the changes you should make.
Remember: easy does it. Just take one small change at a time. You may be surprised at how much progress you can make this way.
The going can get tough, but you can keep going
Healthy changes are sometimes not easy changes. But you’ll do a lot of good by doing little things. For example: have 1 less salty snack and 1 more helping of vegetables. Or spend 10 minutes less watching TV and 10 minutes more walking. Along the way, keep in mind how these things add up to help you lower your blood pressure and reach your goal.
