I recommend the following;
Foods loaded with potassium
Potassium is a good blood pressure reducer. It relaxes the walls of blood vessels, helping release excess sodium. I always advise people to eat foods like bananas, which contain high potassium levels for lessening blood pressure. Other foods include;
- Avocados
- Nuts and seeds
- Carrots
- Tomatoes
Foods with high L-arginine
The body acquires nitric oxide mainly from L-arginine. Nitric oxide is responsible for relaxing muscle cells and researchers say it can lower blood pressure. You can get it from;
- Poultry
- Beans
- Dairy
Excess salt and sodium
Salt is a known riser of blood pressure because excessive consumption can negatively influence fluid balance in blood. It is best to notice foods with hidden salts, and stay away if you cannot minimize your consumption. I usually emphasize on finding hacks for reducing your daily intake, including avoiding added table salt and cooking your meals to monitor the amount used. Some of foods with excess salts include;
Excess sugar
Sugar can increase the risk of high blood pressure by contributing to weight gain. Obese and overweight individuals have a higher risk for high blood pressure. It would help if people reduced their daily sugar consumption to help regulate their blood sugar levels effectively.
I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round. With my work, I have been featured in Vice, Country Living, Harrods magazine, Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Women's Health, and other media outlets.
