I recently found out I have hypertension, how can I lower my blood pressure?

So for anyone who cares (or is perhaps a little nosy too) I got my blood pressure checked today and it was 134/103. I didn't think that was [i]too[/i] bad, but now my parents are urging me to go my GP and get it treated. I was just wondering is there any other way to lower it?

It's not a good result per se but i think with lifestyle modifications (eat healthier, avoid smoking, don't be sedentary...) it will help it be on the normal side.

@BloviatingBuffoon It's not that bad either. Could also be due to "White Coat Syndrome"
