You should also increase your intake of calcium and potassium, but cut down on salt. You should also stop smoking and drinking, if you do either or both. If your blood pressure is extremely high, you should avoid caffeine as well, at least till your pressure is under control. If you are overweight, your diet should also help you lose weight.
