Foods that help with high blood pressure.

My parents came by this afternoon. My dad can't keep his blood pressure regulated and had had a bad spell yesterday. He asked my mom to get online and look for foods that might help. She had already done this a while back and learned that tomato juice is supposed to help but he wouldn't drink it, but now he's ready to try again. So last night before bed he went to the fridge and got him a glass, then went to bed and told mom he "didn't know how she could drink that stuff as thick as it was". Apparently he told her he had to add hot water to get it thin enough to drink so she went to see what had happened to the juice. He had picked up the spaghetti sauce by mistake.

It’s funny but not at the same time

That he drank tomato sauce is hilarious… the high blood pressure part is not (and the fact that like you said, the tomato sauce probably didn’t help matters with its sodium content)

@WaryWitchWandering It wasn't the only crazy thing he's done this week and it's only Tuesday. I went up to their place yesterday and before I got there he had been patching the bathroom ceiling and had mixed an oil based paint with a water based sheet rock mud. I'm still not sure at what point he realized it. I asked him about it when he called this morning but he doesn't hear very well and missed that part of the question. My sister called him before I could repeat the question so he had to go.
