Foods laden with potassium, calcium and omega3 is good for hypertension patients.bananas, watermelons, pears, figs, peanuts, raisins oranges and cooked spinach, canned tomatoes, baked potatoes and skimmed milk and yoghurt.The vitamin D in it further helps to relieve one’s blood pressure. Any low fat dairy products such as skimmed milk, or almonds, turnips, greens, broccoli are known foods to be high in calcium.

If you have high blood pressure then you should go on a very low sodium diet. Salt is the worst thing you can have if you have high blood pressure so you dont want alot of it in your diet.

The National Institutes of Health, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, and the American Heart Association all recommend the DASH Diet for people suffering from hypertension. Mahalo's page on the DASH Diet provides information and links you can use for more information.

If you fall into the prehypertension range (120–139/80–89), your doctor will likely recommend lifestyle modifications, including losing excess weight, exercising, limiting alcohol, cutting back on salt, quitting smoking, and following the DASH diet. You can read about the DASH diet here

If you have high blood pressure, (140–159/90–99) and you do not have any organ damage or other risk factors for heart disease, your doctor will likely recommend lifestyle changes and possibly medications. Treatment of secondary high blood pressure depends on the cause. You can read more about high blood pressure here
http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_All.html
lf blood pressure is 160–179/100–109 mm Hg or higher, your doctor may need to try various combinations of medications to find what works best for you.

Limit consumption of high-sodium processed foods.

Beware of salt substitutes.

Eat adequate amounts of potassium-rich foods.

My family is riddled with heart disease and blood pressure issues and has been for a very long time...multiple generations to be exact. I am almost 40, and a male.....I did not want and do not ever want any of these issues. We have also had diabetes in the family. I went searching for a solution but not a cure...I wanted a lifestyle change that would be with me throughout the years and something I could convince my wife and children to try.

My solution was a modified version of the Atkins diet. Reduce PROCESSED carbohydrates and sugars and you will come out ahead.

We have now been following this in our household for about 24 months and all of us show heightened energy and better physical ability. I have had blood work down through out the process and my cholestorol and triglycerides have reduced as a result. I have no blood pressure issues and or sugar related illness.

So far I am thrilled....I will be getting a stress test soon to see if my arteries are functioning properly...especially after being on a reduced carb and higher protein diet.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Example of everyday diet:

Up to 12 servings of salad of raw vegetables (dark green are the best also tomato, kale) with first cold pressing olive oil.
4-5 liters of purified alkaline ionized water with pH at least 9,5 (like the one made with Jupiter ionizer) with concentrated green powder, like supergreens.
2 Avocados
1-2 cups of slightly steamed sprouted soy beans
10 grams of unprocessed sea salt.
Also you can use baking soda (NaHCO3) dissolved in that alkaline water.

Nothing else. No meat, no dairy products, no sugary fruits not to mention sweets, no regular breads, no rice or other grains. Especially no coffee or teas (including the green one. It 'causes bladder cancer).
