You may be able to lower your blood pressure by switching to a better diet. 

The DASH Diet -- Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension -- involves eating more fruits, vegetables, whole-grain foods, low-fat dairy, fish, poultry, and nuts. 

You should eat less red meat, saturated fats, and sweets. 

Reducing sodium in your diet can also have a significant effect.
