Answer 1/1 - Submitted 5/4/2010
Eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products and skimps on saturated fat and cholesterol can lower your blood pressure by up to 14 mm Hg. This eating plan is known as the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet.
Consider boosting potassium. The best source of potassium is food, such as fruits and vegetables, rather than supplements. Some packaged food products list potassium on the labels. Talk to your doctor about the potassium level that's best for you.
Eat more fresh foods. Fruits, vegetables and unprocessed grains contain little sodium. Avoid alcohol consumption.
