15. Increase Protein

People who eat a high-protein diet may be at lower risk for high blood pressure. Research shows that those consuming the highest amount of protein cut their hypertension risk by nearly 40 percent. For best results, eat plenty of low-fat, protein-rich foods, like poultry, fish, and eggs.

Many plant-based foods are also high in protein, including oats, lentils, chickpeas, green peas, and tofu.
