Low salt, DASH: Google "dash" diet for a list of foods that will help. Avoid excess salt in your diet. If overweight, try to get to a body mass index of <25.

Food for HTN: Great question: low salt, low saturated fat, low cholesterol, 8 servings of colored fruit and vegetables daily, pomegranates, tomato, kiwi, spinach, kale, low animal protein (4 - 5 oz per day of meat, fish, poultry only). Don't smoke. Drink 3 liters fluid per day. Minimize caffeine. Look up DASH Diet.
