Sorry about your mom. The “Dash Diet” is the diet that is recommended by the Heart and Stroke Foundation to reduce high blood pressure. There are many books in your local library on the dash diet.
Saturated fat is the main dietary cause of high blood cholesterol. Saturated fat is found mostly in foods from animals and some plants. Foods from animals include beef, beef fat, veal, lamb, pork, lard, poultry fat, butter, cream, milk, cheeses and other dairy products made from whole and 2 percent milk. All of these foods also contain dietary cholesterol. Foods from plants that contain saturated fat include coconut, coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil (often called tropical oils), and cocoa butter.
High cholesterol causes high blood pressure. The best thing for high cholesterol is Losing weight. A plant-based diet in conjunction with a properly conducted fast most often leads to a total recovery or a vast improvement in hypertension and angina.
The best thing for high blood pressure is stay away,
from red meat,always buy lean meats,no cheese,no
butter,no salt or sodium,Eat fish 3 times a week.
Eat almonds and flax seeds,sunflower,on salads.
Eat alot of Oatmeal,morning, noon or night.Mellows

No sugar or coffee.You can have herb teas.
Green veggies,noodles without any sauce.Use lime
juice and Mrs. Dash.for seasoning on veggies and meats.

So,buy a food steamer.My son lost 20 pounds on this
diet.No fast food ever.Bran muffins.Raisins and carrot &
apple salads.Try to eat this daily as a snack.
Best of Luck.Brown rice and garlic lowers B.P.too.
