1. DASH diet In the study to compare the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet alone or combined with a weight management program with usual diet controls among participants with prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension showed that for overweight or obese persons with above-normal BP, the addition of exercise and weight loss to the DASH diet resulted in even largerBP reductions, greater improvements in vascular and autonomic function, and reducedleft ventricular mass(1). 2. Green tea In the study to to examine the hypothesis that supplementation with GT alters insulin resistance and associated cardiovascular riskfactors in obese, hypertensive patients, showed that supplementation also contributedto significant (P < .05) decreases in the total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, but an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In conclusion, daily supplementation with 379 mg of GTE favorably influences blood pressure, insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidative stress,and lipid profile in patients with obesity-related hypertension(2). 3. Garlic In the study to examine the effectof garlic on blood pressure in patients with and without elevated systolic blood pressure (SPB) through meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials, indicated that Garlic reduced SBP by 16.3 mm Hg (95% CI 6.2 to 26.5) and DBP by 9.3 mm Hg (95% CI 5.3 to 13.3) compared with placebo in patients with elevated SBP(3). 4. Soy milk in the study to evaluate the antihypertensive potential of soy milk (500 mL twice daily) compared with cow’s milk was investigated in a 3-mo double-blind randomized study of 40 men and women with mild-to-moderate hypertension, found that , chronic soy milk consumption had modest, but significant hypotensive action in essential hypertensive subjects. This hypotensive action was correlated with the urinary excretion of the isoflavonoid genistein(4). 5. Celery The reduction of hypertension of celery is as result of the presence of 3-n-butyl phthalide, accordingto the article of A New Look at an Ancient Remedy: Celery, posted on the NewYork time(5). people with high blood pressure only needs 4 stalks/per day to lower blood pressure as the compatible doses in rat by 12 to 14 percent and lowered cholesterol by about 7 percent.
