Easy peasy, go whole 30 or… if you want to speed up the process, go carnivore. All you have to do is endure the discomfort of your happy foods for 90 days and I bet they get off y back. (I know you definitely asked for my free advice😃) for real though, you ditch sugar and carbs and this isnt as wild as people think.
Free advice is like a holes. Everyone has one.

Dr. recommended dried unsalted pumpkin seeds to raise my magnesium levels.
1. Ditch extra salt by not adding any salt to your cooking at home. Stop eating 95% of all processed foods, including packaged deli meats. Look at EVERY label for the sodium content. Keep your daily sodium intake from all food sources under 1800mg. No more than 2000mg. Make sure you are getting at least 3500 - 4700mg of potassium per day from fruits, vegetables, and some fish. Tomatoes, spinach, sweet potatoes, bananas, avocados, tomato paste, butternut squash, pomegranate, beans, potatoes, dried apricots, beets, yams, FISH (tuna, halibut, salmon) and carrots. All are great sources of potassium. Eat whole foods if possible (meaning from scratch and not processed). I know it's not as convenient, but it is the most effective way to regulate your BP from a food point of view.

2. Before doing #1, consult your doctor for any concerns he/she may have with this. Take your BP medication as directed by them. Again, it is important to let them know exactly what you are trying to do by adopting #1.

3. Walk. A lot. Work your way up to 5,000 steps per day then 10,000 and then 15,000. Walk everywhere. Take the stairs instead of the elevator if you are only going 1-3 floors.

You can do it. If you just block the negative thoughts from your mind and do it no matter what, you will see results. Don't talk yourself into "it's too hard". You'll be amazed at what your BP settles out at in three months.
