My BP fell from 200/105 to 115/75 without meds on the DASH-sodium diet (little to no added sodium). I spend several years strictly following this diet (except for holidays or while out of town). Now I no longer need to be so scrupulous to keep BP at 120/80 range. My anecdote may be useless but the DASH diet, itself, is supported by evidence.
