   Remove your cause of mental tension or stress or worries. If the reason is your office, discuss the problem with your colleagues and seniors. Don’t keep the problem with you. Mental tensions can often be reduced by a brisk walk, laugh loudly and relaxation or meditation. In fact, if you daily practice meditation, you can control your blood pressure for ever.
   Maintain your weight. Exercise more often. Since excess body fat is a primary risk factor in hypertension, it is important to maintain a healthy weight.
   Be physically active. Brisk walking, bicycling, raking leaves, and gardening are the best exercises.
   Follow a low fat diet. Eliminate cholesterol in your diet.
   Eliminate salt from your diet. Look at the salt content of tinned foods, snacks, potato chips, French fries, diet soft drinks, sauces, etc. These are high in salt, don’t eat them. Do not eat foods that contain soda, sodium, Na, monosodium glutamate, baking soda and preservatives. Read the food labels carefully. With herbs, spices, garlic and onions, you can make your food tasty without salt.
   Restrict consumption of refined sugars. Read the lables and note different names of sugars.
   A high fiber diet is recommended.
   Increase intake of potassium, magnesium, calcium and vitamin C. Potassium rich foods include banana, orange, tangerine, beans, dried peas,potatoes, etc.
   Magnesium rich foods include almonds, cashews, pecans, rice, banana, potatoes, kidney beans, oat bran, peas, soy, wheat germ, etc.
   Calcium rich foods include low fat dairy foods, nuts, watercress, kale, broccoli, turnip greens, collard greens, mustard greens, etc.
   Garlic helps reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.

   Nutrition
   Hypertensive people can remarkably reduce their blood pressure through nutritional changes. Increasing the amount of vegetables and fruit and reducing the amount of fat and cholesterol will not only reduce blood pressure but can help with weight loss, which also lowers blood pressure.

   Eat whole, fresh, unrefined, and unprocessed foods. Include fruits, vegetables, garlic, onion, whole grains, soy, beans, seeds, nuts, olive oil, and cold-water fish (salmon, tuna, sardines, halibut, and mackerel).
   Low sodium-high potassium diet. Most people are aware that reducing sodium (salt) intake can help reduce blood pressure. However, that may not be the whole picture. Restricting sodium intake to lower blood pressure appears to work better if accompanied by increasing potassium intake. Keep in mind that reducing sodium intake involves more than not using a salt shaker, but also reading processed and prepared food labels for the sodium content. ·
   Avoid salt, sugar, dairy products, refined foods, fried foods, junk foods, and caffeine.
   Eliminate food sensitivities. Use an elimination and challenge diet to determine food sensitivities.
   Drink œ of your body weight in ounces of water daily (e.g., if you weigh 150 lbs, drink 75 oz of water daily).
   Supplements
   Supplements are intended to provide nutritional support. Because a supplement or a recommended dose may not be appropriate for all persons, a physician (i.e., a licensed naturopathic physician or holistic MD or DO) should be consulted before using any product. Recommended doses follow:

   Calcium-Take 800-1500 mg daily.
   Vitamin C-Take 1000 mg daily.
   Coenzyme Q10-Take 50 mg two times daily.
   Flaxseed meal-Grind 2-4 tablespoons daily. Flaxseed meal is a better choice due to its fiber, lignan, and vitamin content, but flaxseed oil (1 tbsp daily) can be substituted.

   The best cure for hypertension is by diet. Cut down on the salt and try to lose weight. Exercise is good too!

   These are the things that should be recommended by your physician before starting any long term drug treatment.

   Oh yes and of course cut down on stress and stop smoking if you smoke!
