Lower BP: To lower your bp, without the use of medications, you need to eat right and exercise. Eat foods that are low in sodium is a good place to start. You should also be evaluated by your physician to make sure there is not a correctable cause to your hypertension. It is important to get hypertension under control early!

Eat healthy food: Stop high carb foods (grains, lentils, potato based items). Also avoid milk protein since it causes insulin resistance that eventually raises BP. Low carb food items such as flesh foods, eggs, non starchy vegetables, avocados, saturated fat (butter, ghee, coconut oil), olive oil are very effective. Get some sunshine daily.

DEW/etoh/NaCl/meds: Diet exercise and wt loss are the cornerstone of therapy. Reduction of alcohol and salt intake are important as well. After that comes medications which virtually always reduce blood pressure to the target of less than 140/90 for the average individual.
