General tips
Cut down on the amount of salt in your food and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables to lower high blood pressure.
Salt raises your blood pressure. The more salt you eat, the higher your blood pressure.
According to the NHS, you should aim to eat less than 6g (0.2oz) of salt a day, which is about a teaspoonful.
“Eating a low-fat diet that includes lots of fibre, such as wholegrain rice, bread and pasta, and plenty of fruit and vegetables also helps lower blood pressure,” notes the health body.
