Since i was only recently diagnosed with hypertension, i'm very foreign to the various diet plans and food recommendations for hypertensive patients. What type of diet is the best option for me to follow?

Eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products and skimps on saturated fat and cholesterol can lower your blood pressure by up to 11 mm Hg if you have high blood pressure. Even a small reduction in the sodium in your diet can improve your heart health and reduce blood pressure by about 5 to 6 mm Hg if you have high blood pressure
