Lose weight(I’m trying too), cut back on salt/sodium. Get plenty of sleep, avoid high fructose corn syrup, avoid anything with soy. Have lots of sex. Drink plenty of water. I take ‘Blood Pressure Support’ from Blue Bonnet Nutrition Corp. I also take a plethora of vitamins & minerals.
I have in the past been on prescription hypertension meds, one gave me a hacking cough, the other I would get light headed, if I knelt down then stood back up. 120 over 80 for bp, is out of reach for me unless on prescriptions. With proper diet, my bp is slowly coming down.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

On the foods side, if you do a lot of your own cooking, whenever possible use either butter, lard, or beef tallow when cooking in fry pans. It’s imperative to eliminate as many vegetable oils from cooking as possible.

Just as Covid was breaking out I had an annual checkup. Blood pressure was beginning to creep into the Hypertension region for the second checkup in a row. Changes were made.
My morning black coffee has a heaping teaspoon of garlic, and raw, unfiltered honey in it. You get used to it fairly quickly. I do a floor exercise routine while the coffee maker works and it's all a part of the morning routine. I've lost 25 pounds and maintain it.
I only eat what I cook. Only purchase beef and pork from farmer friends and have butchering done to provide the leanest cuts possible. I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables by choice.
From my understanding, high blood pressure runs on my side of the family, heart problems on my wife's so do what I can to keep both at bay.
My blood pressure is much better since implementing these practices over three years ago verified by three annual checkups since.

As we age calcium starts to get deposited where it does not belong, blood clots are calcium, your veins are turning to bone, less elastic.
Several Dr's swear by Vitamin K2, found only in fermented food, sauerkraut, butter,cheese, etc. notice the butter??? Comes in pills, kinda spendy.
Back in the olden days before refrigeration a lot of food was fermented, way less heart problems then.
