Thank you. Now I made up my mind to enroll for yoga where in meditation & yoga exercises will be taught by an expert in the evening hours between 7-8 P.M. I will try to follow your suggestions also.

hii rajendra,in addition to above answers i would suggest you to have soaked methi seeds in the morning empty stomach.For that you need to soak 1 tsp of fenugreek seeds in 1 cup of water overnight.In the morning,without having any thing,swallow the soaked fenugreek seeds with the same water in which they were soaked.This helps in reducing the sugar levels.For hypertension you may have bottle gourd or lauki juice.Some other foods that help in maintaining both sugar levels and blood pressure are-garlic,flaxseeds,lemon,cinnamon.
