Get Down With Your Blood Pressure Campaign

The “Get Down With Your Blood Pressure” campaign reminds Americans that high blood pressure management may be as simple as four easy steps: “Get It, Slip It, Cuff It, Check It.” Self-monitoring and working with a health care professional to create a treatment plan can be an effective way to manage blood pressure. Healthy lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet focused on fresh vegetables and fruit, consuming less salt and processed foods, exercising daily, reducing alcohol intake, losing weight if overweight, and taking medication if needed are all effective ways to help control your blood pressure.
