Salt restriction.: Most doctors would recommend salt restriction as a way to help with blood pressure but in reality only one in 10 people will have a significant reduction in blood pressure with salt restriction. It is always worth a try though. Try no added salt to begin with. You can use about half the amount called for in recipes.
