Hypertension is one of the most common health problems in middle-aged and elderly people. Changing lifestyle, dietary habits and other factors contribute to raising blood pressure. There are many foods that help you manage high blood pressure and are proven to be the best natural remedies. Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal recently shared four superfoods that help lower high blood pressure.
She shared the informative video on her Instagram, writing, “4 Foods to Control High Blood Pressure!” Let’s take a look at the benefits of the four foods she talked about in her video.
Green leafy vegetables
Nmami has shed light on the high levels of nutrients, including potassium, magnesium, calcium and antioxidants in several green leafy vegetables. The high amount of potassium in foods like spinach, kale, and lettuce helps remove excess sodium from the kidneys and keeps blood pressure intact.
Banana
Another food rich in potassium is banana. Several experts suggest the use of banana for hypertensive patients as it has been proven to be effective in reducing the harmful effects of sodium and reducing the tension in the blood vessels. This way you keep your blood pressure under control.
Beetroot
Beetroot is a magical food that increases hemoglobin levels in the blood. Not only this, it also reduces inflammation in the body due to the presence of antioxidants and nitric oxide. After eating beetroot or beet juice, you can see the difference in your blood pressure.
Garlic
Known as an antibiotic and antifungal food, garlic helps dilate blood vessels. Raw garlic has also been proven to be effective for other cardiovascular problems. It regulates cholesterol, blood pressure and even reduces muscle stiffness. Garlic is known as a magical remedy that provides relief from many diseases.
