I am sorry to hear about your husband. I too suffered from blood pressure, for years it is a family history or trait. What a thing to inherit. Your husband must not come off the pills until directed to by a doctor, but one thing for sure is that potassium rich foods, like bananas, avocados, help to lower blood pressure. At times we eat for enjoyment or taste, but we must learn to feed our bodies what it needs, and for people with high blood pressure many not all need to start incorporating potassium rich foods, and bananas are great to start with especially in the morning with a bowl of cereal(healthy). There are a host of other things your husband can do and try, but you can start with this, and check out a article I wrote about foods for blood pressure, you will get some ideas, from it.http://goarticles.com/article/Foods-Good-For-Lowering-Blood-Pressure/9110659/
