You should do regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 to 7 days a week in nearly all peoples. Regular exercises helps in reducing weight, and blood pressure.
You should be avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Should consume five or more servings of fruits and/or vegetables daily. Should replace refined grains like white bread, white rice with whole grains whole bread and brown rice.
Should avoid red meat and instead have sea foods, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds as a source of protein. The recommended dietary sodium intake is less than 2.3 g of sodium or 6 g of sodium chloride.
Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. Sweetened beverages should be avoided. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Yoga should be included in daily routine. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
