Increasing intake of foods rich in potassium, magnesium, and calcium can help decrease risk of hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

C
Patients with mild to moderate hypertension should attempt to lower their blood pressure using lifestyle modifications for 3 to 6 months before drug therapy is considered.
