1. Berries. Blueberries and strawberries contain the antioxidant anthocyanins. Studies have found that people who consume more anthocyanins have an 8% lower risk of hypertension. Enjoy berries as a snack or dessert, or add them to smoothies or oatmeal.
2. Banana. Bananas contain a lot of potassium, which helps control blood pressure. The American Heart Association recommends that adults should consume 4,700 milligrams of potassium per day. Foods rich in potassium include avocado, cantaloupe, halibut, mushrooms, potatoes, tomatoes, tuna, dates, dark green vegetables, etc., but patients with kidney disease should seek guidance from their doctor before eating.
3. Pistachios. Pistachios and almonds can help lower blood pressure, and unsalted nuts are healthier.
4. Dark chocolate. A review study showed that chocolate lowers blood pressure in the general population and in people with prehypertension. It is recommended to choose high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of more than 70%.
5. Kiwi fruit. Studies have found that eating 3 kiwis a day can significantly reduce blood pressure after 8 weeks. Its rich vitamin C may be the "contributor".
