Lifestyle changes can help you control and prevent high blood pressure — even if you're taking blood pressure medication.
Here's what you can do:--
* Eat healthy foods.
* Decrease the salt in your diet.
* Maintain a healthy weight.
* Increase physical activity.
* Limit alcohol.
* Don't smoke.
* Manage stress.
* Monitor your blood pressure at home.
* Practice relaxation or slow, deep breathing.
Adopt DASH diet (Mediterranean diet). Eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet, which includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish, vegetables, poultry, and egg whites. Use monounsaturated oils such as olive, peanut, and canola oils or polyunsaturated oils such as corn, safflower, soy, sunflower, cottonseed, and soybean oils. Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.

Increase physical activity and reduce salt intake for BP. For sugar, detailed advice of Mr Gangadharan Nair is very sound. Use very little oil every day.
