I have found these helpful garlic, ginger root, flaxseed, beans, tea. As you say weight loss & maintenance, and exercise help a lot. Patients must make it a lifestyle change that is routine and ongoing.
Once you see and feel the results of lowering your blood pressure, healthy lifestyle changese will become permanent. Allow yourself plenty of time to achieve this level, 6 months to a year or so. This is my testimonial after a 2 year period of trying to control my blood pressure.
