If you have high blood pressure (hypertension), it’s essential to maintain a healthy diet to help manage your condition. A diet that is rich in certain nutrients and low in others can be effective in controlling blood pressure. Here are ten foods to consider including in your diet:
10. Beets
Beets: Beets contain nitrates, which can help relax blood vessels and improve blood flow. You can eat them cooked, raw, or even juiced.
09. Berries
Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are rich in flavonoids, which can help lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow.
08. Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds are rich in magnesium, potassium, and healthy fats, all of which can contribute to lower blood pressure.
