My husband was diagnosed with high blood presure today. Any tips on ways to lower it and what kind of diet is he going to have to eat? I have no knowledge of dealing with high blood pressure.

I was able to go to the doctor with him so I didn't get to hear what he said should be done. My husband is really bad about giving me ALL the information. So plz,plz tell me anything you know. and thanks for responding.

i have read that decreasing sodium intake can help, but i am not sure how true it is. you can ask your husband's physician for more info. usually, doctor's offices have little pamphlets on HBP.
