My profile I set up at the TYP site had these among their recommendations. I think everyone here should consider them: Lifestyle * Increase intake of monounsaturated oils (olive and canola; raw almonds and walnuts). * cut back sharply on intake of starches, especially wheat products, processed foods like breads, donuts, cookies, chips. * Avoid products with high-fructose corn syrup. * Achieve BMI of 25 or less through weight loss. # Add oat bran 3 tbsp per day to your diet. # Begin fish oil, dose 4000 to 6000 mg/day (total of 1200 to 1800 mg omega-3 fatty acids). # Consider increasing exercise to 40 minutes 4 days per week, or use pedometer and increase steps or kcal burned by 50% over your current daily expenditure. # Ensure that you get at least 7 1/2 hours of sleep every night. Sleep deprivation contributes to high blood pressure. # Maintain a Blood Pressure of less that 120/70 # Vitamin C: 500mg per day # Vitamin B-Complex: (Folic Acid: 800mcg, B6: 25mg, B12: 100-500mcg) per day # Vitamin D: 2000 IU per day
