Introduction: hypertension is a common risk factor of cardiovascular diseases. Life style modification is a first and important therapeutic strategy in hypertensive patients. In this study, we educate the patients with hypertension on healthy life style to increase their adherence about physical activity, diet and prescribed drugs. <br /> Methods: this was a blinded randomized clinical trial study was done in 200 patients of Heart clinic at Sayyad Shirazi teaching hospital of Gorgan in 2015. Data gathering was done using a reliable and valid registration form. Also, a Sphygmomanometer (model: Saadat) made of Iran was used to measure blood pressure. Of 200 patients, 98 patients divided into control and intervention group. Educational intervention was done for intervention group among two weeks. Education was done face to face and individual based, twice two hours per week. Data was analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk independed t-test/ Mann-Whitney, paired t-test/McNemar Test. in SPSS version 16.<br /> Findings: result showed that education of life style modification decreased systolic blood pressure (9.94 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (5.84 mmHg) of intervention group before and after the intervention. The comparison of systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed that there was a significant difference between control and intervention group (P
