Change ur lifestyle, be Eco-friendly, avoid addictions, discard as many items and habits from ur daily life as u can.
First, you need to strictly monitor your sodium (salt) intake. This means reading labels, because sodium is hidden everywhere. Even some bottled water (Dasani, for one) has sodium added to it.
Secondly, drink plenty of water.
Third, if you have any extra weight, you need to lose it. Start eating 5-7 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, lean protein (chicken, fish), whole grains (no processed white breads), and get your dairy in, again from low-fat sources. Avoid fast food at all costs!
Start a walking program to increase exercise slowly. Exercise is a key method of helping to control blood pressure, but you need to be careful not to overdo. Build up slowly to where you want to be.
Lastly, and this is the hardest, you need to eliminate as much stress from your life as possible. Stress can trigger episodes of increased blood pressure, as well as causing your body to produce cortisol. Cortisol makes your body store fat, right around your middle. I would suggest yoga, meditation, journaling your stressors and creating a plan on how to handle each one. Create a daily routine and don't over-schedule yourself.
One more note: If you know anyone who knows how to check your blood pressure, have them do it once per week between doctor visits, and keep track of it, Or use one of the machines in a pharmacy. Some people have what is called "White Coat Hypertension." That is when your blood pressure increases at doctor visits, due to your stress level. Also, have the doctor check your B/P BEFORE they stick you with a needle, if bloodwork is on the agenda.

stop eating dairy food, meat, eggs. No processed food, packaged food, botteled drinks. Eat more whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits. drink plenty of water, and fresh squeezed lemon juice and citrus fruit juice, skimmed milk/ curd. try to get all the vitamines and minerals from these foods.
Get yourself a really good omega 3 essential fatty acid supplement. Its a good oil & helps lower high blood pressure, high colesterol & also helps with depression.
