Hypertension currently cannot be completely cured, but it can be effectively controlled through comprehensive management. This mainly includes: 1. **Medication:** Long-term use of antihypertensive medications under a doctor's guidance, such as diuretics, beta blockers, etc., to maintain blood pressure within the normal range. 2. **Lifestyle modifications:** Adopting a balanced diet with low salt, low fat, and low sugar intake; engaging in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for at least 150 minutes per week; maintaining a healthy weight to avoid obesity; quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption to reduce the harmful effects of unhealthy habits on the body. 3. **Psychological adjustment:** Maintaining a positive mood, avoiding excessive stress and emotional fluctuations such as anxiety. Stress can be relieved through relaxation techniques, yoga, and other methods. The management of hypertension requires a combination of various approaches and should be conducted under the guidance of a physician to effectively control blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications.
