Vitamin D therapy in Black people with hypertension shown to decrease blood pressure statistically, though small.

only abstract available here.  Serum vitamin C levels significantly inversely associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure.  Also of note, this was a human study, not animal.

review article of studies on vitamin C and blood pressure finds mixed results.  I think it all comes down to dosing.  The authors highlight 2 studies to make their point. One find a significant reduction and another found a slight increase.  The dosing of the vitamin C was only 500 mg/day.  A woefully inadequate therapeutic dosing of vitamin C, especially when dealing with the significant deficiencies that can be found in disease states.

Study finds a nominal dose of vitamin C, 500 mg/day, decreased blood pressure and arterial stiffness in diabetics after only 1 month.  Imagine what you can do with therapeutic levels?

review article of 29 studies finds a reduction in blood pressure with vitamin C.  The average dosing of vitamin C was 500 mg, which is a woefully inadequate dose.  The average study follow up was 8 weeks.

European study showed that vitamin D replacement in those with low vitamin D levels, had benefits of lowered blood pressure.

low testosterone in men is inversely related to elevated blood pressure

Olive leaf extract equal to captopril in lowering blood pressure

vegetarian diet lowers blood pressure by 4.8 mmHg to 6.9 mmHg in meta-analysis.

Lead is associated with elevated blood pressure in black people, though no association is found in white people.

Cinnamon lowers HgbA1C over 12 weeks of treatment

Ergonomic Wheelchair often spend a lot of time leaning on armrests or a table exactly because they are not being supported with good posture in their chairs. This is a matter of seat angle and back angle, adjusting them according to body shape and degree of upper body balance. Poor seating makes slump, trying to get stable. The optimal posture is more upright, allowing spine to support. Ergonomic chairs are designed to confirm to a person's physical dimensions, allowing them to sit naturally and comfortably for long periods of time, while reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. Ergonomic system (Intelligent s-shaped ergonomic seating) provides efficient pressure relief by spreading weight over a greater area, at the same time provides stabilization and reduced sliding. With their lightweight frames and seats designed to reduce or prevent pressure points, ergonomic wheelchairs provide a comfortable option for mobility impaired users who have the upper body strength to propel themselves, or a caregiver strong enough to do so.
