5 Unexpected Foods That Lower Blood PressureYour next breakfast should go well.

And your next dinner, too.

That’s because now you’ll know about 5 fantastical and unexpected foods that will send your blood pressure falling – and fast.

Just add these foods into your meals and you’ll be living a healthier, better life.

Sound good?

Banana:

Bananas are not just popular and inexpensive; they pack a big punch when it comes to nutrition. It is rich in fiber and packed with potassium and that too 450 milligrams in one fruit. This definitely makes it one of the most effective blood pressure-lowering medicines out there.

Avocado:

Rich in monosaturated fat, phytonutrients and minerals, especially potassium, avocado is a best choice for a wholesome healthy fruit. Beating the banana, avocado is packed with 975 milligrams of potassium that does your blood pressure good. Next time, try using avocado in a sandwich instead of mayonnaise. You’ll do your heart a big favor.

Yogurt:

Consuming about 1000 to 1500 milligrams of calcium every day is said to be beneficial for reducing blood pressure. Studies have shown that calcium from natural food sources is more effective than supplements. Yogurt is an excellent source of calcium and is a good snack option. Yogurt is also loaded with pro-biotics, which have been shown to improve blood pressure. Just make sure you get plain yogurt as many flavored yogurts are loaded with sugar. For sweetening, add some blueberries or other fruits.

Dark chocolate:

Dark chocolate contains polyphenols that protect against heart disease. Have a couple of squares of dark chocolate to tame your sweet craving without feeling guilty. Make sure the chocolate is at least 70% coco and limit yourself to 50 gr/day.

Red wine:

While alcohol consumption in general is best avoided, a little red wine after meals is supposed to be good for lowering blood pressure and improving digestion. Like dark chocolate, the key beneficial component in the wine is due to the polyphenols. A glass of red wine occasionally keeps your blood pressure under check. Studies have shown that non-alcoholic wine is just as or even more effective.

These aren’t the only ways to get your blood pressure falling fast, though. There’s one method, in particular, that’s really effective. All it requires is 3 exercises.

    Since plain yogurt is a little sour, I love to add some blueberries and put it together in the mixer. Sweeter than most flavored yogurts.

    Why is chia seed never mentioned in articles like this? Chia has more potassium than a banana, better more absorbable calcium than milk, a good balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6, is a complete protein, and lots more.

    The only thing we don't eat/drink is the red wine

    Since red wine is prepared out of red grapes and if you can access organically grown red grapes as nature made it then they would be more ideal to consume. Cheers! :o)
