But what food exactly lowers blood pressure seems to be changing from year to year. Today something is in and tomorrow the same thing is out… enough to drive a person CRAZY!
That’s why in today’s article I’m including a list of 7 foods I absolutely 100% guarantee will help keep your blood pressure at bay (today, tomorrow and ten years from now).
And the best part is; they’re all delicious!
Here are some of the best foods that can bring down your blood pressure. The best part is that they’re all nutritious as well as delicious!
1. BananaWhenever you crave for a snack, banana might be a good choice. This filling fruit is loaded with the mineral potassium that lowers blood pressure. In fact a research has shown that eating 2 bananas a day regularly can bring down blood pressure by nearly 10 percent!
2. Eggs – Do you like scrambled eggs or omelet for breakfast? Eggs are known to contain a peptide compound that lowers blood pressure. It is supposed to be about as effective as a low dose of a prescription drug. And just to be clear; the cholesterol danger of eggs is nothing but a myth.
3. TomatoTry swapping your beverage for tomato juice if high blood pressure is your ailment (no I did not say Bloody Mary). The chemical compound in tomatoes called ‘lycopene’ is known to lower blood pressure. 25 milligrams of lycopene (the amount found in a cup of tomato juice) is perfect for lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol by up to 10 percent.
