First stop using added salt& avoid salty foods, strive for an ideal weight, avoid excess caffeine, limit alcohol,no smoking, get regular exercise, good sleep,try to avoid stress. Potassium is felt to lower BP but high blood levels are dangerous. Garlic & fish oil may lower BP but not scientifically proven.

There are many foods and supplements which have been used for lowering BP but I wonder if you can take it everyday for BP control, e.g. eating beet every day, instead of taking a simple medication which has proven effective with controlled studies and years of experience. You can start with low salt diet, low calories intake and exercise for weight loss so systolic pressure can drop about 10-15%.
