Simple is better: Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain, and less salt. The more processed the food is, the more likelihood is that it will contain salt and other preservatives that may adversely affect bp. These foods also help keep lipids lower, weight down and other benefits. Also, increasing exercise helps. If there is any question of sleep apnea, get tested. That, too, can increase bp.
