There is one quote from Prophet Muhammad saying that the stomach is the home of disease, and that diet is the main cure.

I strongly believe that.

Hippocrates also stated the same thing, which is that we should let food be our medicine and medicine be our food.

For that reason, lowering high blood pressure (HBP) can also be done by consuming the right foods, as an addition to lifestyle changes (physical exercises, stop smoking, etc).

You can eat the following foods to lower your HBP or hypertension naturally.
