Some Foods To Consume Regular To Reduce Blood Pressure Level.

Health guidelines.

By Gentle soulPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

High blood pressure is a major health risk that is all too common in the general population and can be fatal if the patient does not receive immediate medical assistance.

Research has shown that certain foods can lower blood pressure. Combining these foods in the diet may lead to long-term health benefits.

Here are some best foods to lower high blood pressure:

1. Pumpkin seeds:

Pumpkin seeds may be small, but they pack a punch when it comes to nutrition.

They’re a concentrated source of nutrients important for blood pressure control.

2. Bananas:

Bananas contain potassium, which can help manage blood pressure. One medium-sized banana contains around 422 milligrams (mg) of potassium.

Potassium reduces the effects of sodium and alleviates tension in the walls of the blood vessels.

3. Dark chocolate:

Cacao, an ingredient in dark chocolate, contains flavonoids, an antioxidant. Flavonoids may help reduce blood pressure.

3. Salmon and other fatty fish:

Regular intake of salmon as well as other fatty fish is associated with decrease in blood pressure.

4. Citrus fruits:

Fruits such as grapefruit, oranges, and lemons, may significantly reduce blood pressure. They include a wealth of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and plant chemicals, which may protect your heart by lowering risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure.

5. Swiss chard:

Swiss chard is a leafy green that’s packed with blood-pressure-regulating nutrients, including potassium and magnesium.

6. Beans and lentils:

Since beans and lentils are high in fiber, magnesium, and even potassium, all of which help to maintain healthy blood pressure levels, eating them is very good for blood pressure.
