Actions that will reduce blood pressure:
Drastically cutting salt. Most people underestimate the salt they eat. Not adding salt with a salt shaker can still mean you're eating over 5 grams of salt. Reading labels will reveal just how much salt is in prepared and most frozen foods.
Eating potassium rich foods (bananas, baked potato)
Eating fruits and vegetables.
If she's not vegetarian, cutting down on animal protein.
Maintaining ideal weight.
