Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX, For high blood pressure we can take the following diet.
Salt
Our body actually requires only 2000 milligrams of salt in a day from food, which can increase in summer, but most of us consume 30-50 times that amount. Try to avoid highly salted and preserved foods like pickles and salted snacks. Normal salt contains 40% sodium. You can use low sodium salts available in the market, which contain only 18 % sodium. But this should be avoided if you have kidney failure since it contains high potassium levels which are harmful in this condition.
On the other hand calcium, magnesium and potassium keep the blood pressure low.
Potassium
Best source of potassium are fruits.
Calcium
Greens and dairy products supply enough calcium.
Magnesium
Magnesium is present in nuts sprouts Soya beans and bananas.

Diet for hypertension should therefore be vegetarian (plus fish), high in fibre, a lot of fruits (they provide fibre and potassium), plenty of vegetables (fibre and calcium), avoidance of solid fats ( butter, margarine, cheese), and less of refined foods like refined flour, sugar, sweets, bakery items etc
Low blood pressure
Many of us have blood pressure like 90/60 mm of mercury which may be normal for us. It should not be called low blood pressure. Only if there are symptoms, or there is a sudden drop in blood pressure, it should be treated.Regards
