I typed this earlier but it 'disappeared' so I hope this won't be a duplicate.
I take my BP daily at same time of day, average three readings taken one minute apart. Over past 10 days BP was average of 131/75 - typical of the past four months.
I use absolutely no salt, don't buy any food with lots of sodium in it, eat little red meat, eat lots of vegetables, drink low sodium V-8 daily, use supplements like magnesium, garlic, hawthorn berries, folic acid, have a BMI of 22, do slow breathing exercises for 15-min daily, take dark chocolate daily, use no sugary foods (except the chocolate) Age is early 80s.
What could you suggest I add to try to get BP down to 120/xx ?
