LOWERING BLOOD PRESSURE
December 14th, 2012
Studies show that consuming enough potassium may be as important for healthy blood pressure as avoiding too much sodium. To prevent high blood pressure, choose a healthy eating plan that includes plenty of foods rich in potassium and low in sodium. For sodium, if you eat a lot of salted foods, processed foods and table salt, consider reducing your intake. Potassium-rich foods include many fruits and vegetables such as potatoes, bananas, cantaloupe and cooked dark green vegetables such as spinach. Source: National Institutes of Health
