Runningwater, we haven't discussed exercise much yet. This is actually a key tool when it comes to reducing your blood pressure. Getting in shape reduces your resting heart rate and decreases blood pressure, generally. Plus it reduces stress which is a contributor to high blood pressure.
What are you doing now for exercise? If you are doing very little now, you'd be surprised how doing a little more can go a long way.
I've seen how exercise helps. There are people whose blood pressure comes down within a few weeks of starting an exercise program.
