    Hi Mansi,

    Being overweight is a definite risk for high blood pressure so If you are overweight try to reduce ur weight;Eat a diet rich in potassium, calcium & lower in sodium not only salt even like packed foods , salt biscuits , packed soups , rich gravy types. Maintain regular physical activity , relax urself by hearing good music , yoga,Meditation. Hypertension people must get at least eight hours of good sleep
    Few home remedies are following :
    1.Grapefruit is useful in preventing high blood pressure.
    2.Indian gooseberry is another effective remedy for high blood pressure. A tablespoon each of fresh indian gooseberry juice and honey mixed together should be taken every morning in this condition.
    3.Lemon is also regarded as a valuable food to control high blood pressure.

    The principle of diet for hypertension is low sodium,low fat and moderate protein diet.
    The diet should not have more than 2400 mg of sodium per day.(1 Tsp or 5 gms of common salt contains about 2400 mg of sodium).Besides foods high in preservatives,baking powder and mono sodium glutamate should also be avoided.As they contain sodium in large amounts.Besides foods rich in saturated fats should be avoided as well as they may further increase the risk of cardio vascular diseases and stroke.
