Hypertension or high blood pressure refers to the pressure of the blood on the arterial wall. Over time, hypertension can cause damage to blood vessels, leading to heart disease, kidney disease and, other problems. Hypertension is sometimes called a silent killer because it produces no symptoms and can be ignored and untreated for years.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 75 million Americans have high blood pressure. Many of the risk factors for high blood pressure are out of your control, such as age, family history, gender, and race. But there are also some factors that can be controlled, such as exercise and diet. Diets that help control blood pressure are rich in potassium, magnesium, and Hypertension or high blood pressure refers to the pressure of the blood on the arterial wall.

Have you ever thought about how to lower blood pressure naturally? Sodium has always been an important part of the fluctuations of blood pressure in the diet of high blood pressure and you will be safe. But current research shows that it is just as important to choose between natural foods low in sodium and at least two of the three powerful minerals: calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Add some balanced foods to your diet to reduce your risk of stroke and heart attack by almost half.
Leafy Greens
Potassium helps your kidneys to remove more sodium through your urine. This results in lowers your blood pressure.
Green leafy vegetables with high potassium content include:
- Turnip greens
- Collard greens
- Spinach
- Beet greens
- Swiss chard
Berries
Some Berries, like blueberries, are rich in natural flavonoids. One study found that taking these flavonoids can prevent high blood pressure and help lower blood pressure.
Red Beets
Beets are rich in nitric oxide, which can help open blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Research shows that nitrates in beet juice decreased blood pressure in just 24 hours
Skim Milk and Yogurt
Skimmed milk is an excellent source of calcium with low-fat content. These are important elements of diet to decrease blood pressure. If you don't like milk, you can also choose yogurt.
According to the American Association of Heart, women who eat five servings of yogurt per week have a 20% lower risk of developing hypertension.
Oat Meal
Oatmeal is suitable for high blood pressure, low fat and low sodium to reduce blood pressure. Eating oatmeal for breakfast is the best way to spend the day.
Bananas
Eating foods rich in potassium is better than taking supplements. Slice bananas into cereals or oatmeal to make them rich in potassium. You can also bring a boiled egg for a quick breakfast or snack.
Salmon, Mackerel, And Fish with Omega-3
Fish are an excellent source of lean protein. Oily fish such as mackerel and salmon are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation and lower triglycerides. In addition to these sources of fish, trout contain vitamin D. Foods rarely contain vitamin D, and this hormone-like vitamin has properties that can lower blood pressure.
Garlic and Herbs
A review pointed out that garlic can help reduce blood pressure by increasing the amount of nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide helps to promote vasodilation or dilate arteries, thereby lowering blood pressure.
Pistachios
Pistachio is a healthy food to lower blood pressure by falling peripheral vascular resistance, vasoconstriction and heart rate. One study found that taking a pistachio diet a day helps lower blood pressure.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is an example of healthy fat. It contains polyphenols, which are anti-inflammatory compounds that help lower blood pressure.

Hey, little correction. The matter in the 2nd and 3rd paragraph is almost same. Please edit it.
I think that people need to have a timely check about all their health issues because they are many people getting heart attacks suddenly and are hospitalized. To decrease it, we need to educate everyone the importance of timely checkups.
Thanks for the good post and about the food items which we be helpful for the patients. I guess mostly everyone here might know someone who's suffering from hypertension and all and this post might educate them and they may try to help the needy.

Hola @crytokraze
Buenísimo.
Desde hace años, todas las mañanas en ayuna como 2 dientes de ajo. Luego cepillar los dientes y unas pocas hojas de menta para mascar. Tensión 11/7 hasta los momentos.
Saludos y Gracias
thanks u dear sharing
Hey dude, you're absolutely right. However, I think there's a lot more to this subject. You can add superveggies which are extremely healthy.
Also, people who this interests often know what is healthy and what is not, but the have troubles making the food the right way. Should cook it of eat it raw? Things like that.
Again great post, but this could be your second.
Keep sharing the healthyness !!
Wow.... This is amazing and educative. I've really gained a lot. I think I will share this with my family as well...
You can as well read about hypoxia, its negative effect and treatment on my blog, @andymandy01 thanks a lot...

I appreciate how you stated:
I think that is one of the most overlooked aspects of blood pressure related health issues. The reason the industry has focused so much on sodium is because of a study from the early 1900s with a small sample size of only 6 participants. Later the salt myth came about in a study where they failed to control fructose consumption. There has been no significant link to sodium intake and heart health or blood pressure. Some studies had half of the participants consume higher amounts of sodium and half had a lowered intake. Within each of those groups the blood pressure displayed no significant changes. I do appreciate the mention of other minerals and would love to see more posts about that! The balance between sodium and potassium is what has been shown to have the largest impact on blood pressure.
Not having enough salt (not all salts are created equal!) can lead to a multitude of health issues such as nausea, loss of energy, muscle cramps or weakness, seizures, headache, fatigue, nervousness, irritability, kidney, hormonal health and more!
Upvoted! I’ve been looking for this article actually
