Low salt: Grape fruit has been touted by some to reduce blood pressure. Magnesium can relax the arteries and reduce blood pressure. But most imporant is dash diet with low salt intake.

Lifestyle changes: A combination diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and low-fat dairy products and low in snacks, sweets, meats, and saturated and total fat are the best foods to lower high blood pressure. Also, getting in at least 30 mins of cardiac exercise daily is extremely helpful. Limit your alcohol intake to no more than 2 drinks per day. Keep a healthy body weight/BMI. Best wishes.
