FOODS WHICH HELP REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE
Potatoes are packed with anthocyanins, which rev up one's body's artery-pampering defences.
Raisins- contain blood pressure friendly potassium, as well as fibre & beneficial compounds called poly-phenols which keep artery walls flexible.
Pumpkin seeds, cashew nuts & walnuts- contain magnesium that helps lower blood pressure down by balancing levels of sodium & calcium. Plus, the healthy fat in walnuts keeps inflammation out of your arteries & protects the level of nitric oxide.
Protein- yoghurt, roast chicken, smoked salmon will keep blood sugar lower & steadier.
Dark chocolate- flavonols packed into dark chocolate boost production of artery-relaxing nitric oxide. Pair a square with orange sections or your favourite fruit.
