High blood pressure is not a given as people age, according to Norbert Herzog and David Niesel of UTMB’s Medical Discovery News. Hypertension can affect children as well as adults. “Most of us can do a lot to prevent high blood pressure. Make an effort to live a healthy lifestyle. Become physically active; follow a healthy eating plan that emphasizes fruits, vegetables and low fat dairy foods; eat less salt,” they said.
