How to lower blood pressure?

To lower blood pressure, Andrew Huberman and Peter Attia discuss several non-pharmacological methods that should be tried before considering medication. These include:

• Exercise: Regular physical activity, particularly low-intensity cardiovascular exercise (zone two), is recommended. About 180 to 240 minutes per week can be effective.
• Weight Management: Losing weight, if overweight, can have a significant impact on lowering blood pressure.
• Sleep: Ensuring adequate and quality sleep is crucial.
• Diet: Adjusting diet to avoid overnutrition and possibly to manage macronutrient intake.

If these lifestyle adjustments don't suffice, there may be a need for pharmacotherapies such as ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, which are now generally well-tolerated 1.
