Hello,
I understand your concern to get the blood pressure of your father in law in control, but to be able to guide you more accurately we would need his details such as height, weight, eating habits, medications, sleep, stress, medical conditions apart from high blood pressure, etc. This helps in understanding him better and guide accurately. A personalized diet session is highly recommended for as it takes into account all the above mentioned details.
Following guidelines can be helpful as a start -
1. Avoid sodium rich foods such as papad, pickles, ketchup, bread, namkeen, cheese, butter, ready to eat foods and other processed and packaged foods
2. Ensure his diet has good amount fiber from fruits and vegetables
3. Refined flour and it's products should be avoided
4. Ensure he exercises for 30 minutes a day
5. Avoid fried foods
6. Ensure sound sleep of 6-7 hours a day
Next Steps
