Many are overloading on salt their intake being almost 3 teaspoons a day when it should be more like one. Watch your fat intake. The good fats are not big contributors, the omega-3 fatty acids. Fish, flaxseeds and grains are ok. Boost your potassium, it can help in reducing your need for blood pressure medication. Finally increase your calcium.
