Eat less, move more, make sure you sleep.
That "eat less"needs to be elaborated. Eating less beef is not the same as eating less tomatoes. :-)

#42Seeing these decrease in numbers really emphasizes the strength of exercise as an intervention. It's lot just isometric exercise, but all types here that significantly lowered blood pressure. And it's not just blood pressure, it's basically all bad health outcomes, according to other meta analyses. People want to know what food to eat, what food not to eat, and what supplements to take, what drugs to take. But we sho…
"Exercise makes you healthier" is hardly an earth shattering revelation. Everyone knows the benefits of exercise, especially unhealthy people. That is still usually not enough of a motivator, however, hence the reliance on fad diets and drugs.

#44To save time on reading here is the key finding on the decrease of blood pressure from various exercises. aerobic exercise training (−4.49/–2.53 mm Hg) dynamic resistance training (–4.55/–3.04 mm Hg) combined training (–6.04/–2.54 mm Hg) high-intensity interval training (–4.08/–2.50 mm Hg) isometric exercise training (–8.24/–4.00 mm Hg) Here’s a link on what isometric exercise is. https://www.healthline.com/health/fi…

You really need to be doing a minimum of 90 minutes of zone 2 training 5 - 6 days per week, which isn't especially difficult but it's just more than most people are willing to do. There's no doubt that doing squats or whatever will redu…

In the context of caloric intake, it basically is the same thing. People (population level) eat too much food . Which foods should they eat, exactly, is essentially premature optimization in this context.
