Is it ok to adjust my diet to lower my blood pressure by staying under recommended daily food allowances?

Maybe: About 75% of the population responds to substantial reductions in their sodium (salt) intake. Odds are good you'd be among them. Regular exercise for >30 min at 60-75% of predicted max heart rate also lowers BP substantially in those not already conditioned. You've got a good shot.
