How can I lower my pulse rate?

I have recently started selling my plasma to earn a bit of extra money so me and my kids can do fun stuff. The problem is that my pulse is a bit too high sometimes, and I get turned away and have to come back another day. I am slightly overweight, and I understand the best way to lower my pulse is to lose weight. Well, I'm working on that. I've lost 27 pounds since June. I also know that cardio exercise helps too. I do that also. Does anyone know of any types of foods or supplements that can help me to lower my pulse? Any help or references would be much appreciated.

I eat a very low-fat diet and I think that may help to lower my heart-rate, but I think it most likely to do with the daily Zen meditation I have practised over the last 30 years or so.
