I cut salt long ago. It helped a lot (from 130 to 115 average), even though blood pressure is a family problem. I always order food : no salt, no msg, no sugar. Try not having any snack or cookies (some bread are very high in salt) Perhaps not much taste but I rather to eat a tasteless food than having a major health problem. Alcohol is important as well, better cut that too. I did.
I run every other day. Exercise is very important, jogging ????♂️ works too.
