Cut back on salt

14. Find (and eliminate) at least one hidden source of salt a day. 
For instance, did you know what many breakfast cereals contain salt? Who needs salt in their cereal? Find a brand that's salt-free.

15. Take these supplements daily: garlic, fish oil, calcium, CoQ10. 
All have blood-pressure-lowering properties. Just check with your doctor first.
