•Take a supplement: In a review of 12 studies, researchers found that coenzyme Q10 reduced blood pressure by up to 17 mmhg over 10 mmhg. The antioxidant, required for energy production, dilates blood vessels. Ask your doctor about taking a 60 to 100 mg supplement up to 3 times a day.

My mom struggled with high BP here whole life basically, as of late i put her on an Atkins type diet, basically as a research thing i wanted to do * DONT TELL HER THAT!* haha, but her BP went from High 180/90 to normal 120/75 within about 2mnths time. so i do honestly believe that Atkins type diets can indeed help with high BP. as i used to have high Bp then i went low carb and higher protein and moderate fat and i am in “perfect health” says the doc :)
