Any tips on lowering blood pressure?!


Question:

Any tips on lowering blood pressure?

Been to the doctor this week and she says I need to lower my blood pressure. I know I need to cut down my salt intake and also caffeine (have already switched to caffeine free coke) but what can I eat instead?
I get cravings for crisps everyday, are there any tasty alternatives?
Also, why do manufacturers put so much salt in stuff that you would never even think needed it? It took me twice as long to do my shopping this week as I had to read all the labels and put half of my usual stuff back as it was packed with hidden salt!


Answers:

You're right about the hidden salt in processed food; dangerous stuff in such large quantities.
Keep an eye on your weight and cook at home where possible, focusing on food that is high in Omega 3 fatty acids, such as salmon and tuna and avoiding red meat.
Also take up yoga to relieve stress. It works!
