FIVE FOODS THAT FIGHTS HIGH BP

SKIMMED MILK

It provides calcium, potassium and vitamin D, three nutrients that work
as a team to help reduce blood pressure levels by about 3 to 10 percent.



TOMATOES
They are rich in lycopene and other important antioxidants that helps reduce blood pressure



SPINACH
Loaded with magnesium, it is a key ingredient for lowering and maintaining healthy blood pressure levels.

DARK CHOCOLATE

Eating about 30 calories a day ( less than half an ounce of dark chocolate) has now been linked to lowering of BP. Flavanols, which are
present in dark chocolates are known to improve several important
cardiovascular risk factors and also reduce the risk of cardiovascular
diseases.
These provide ample potassium. When potassium is low, the body retains sodium and too much sodium raises blood pressure. When potassium is
high, the body gets rid of sodium, keeping the BP low. Soybeans also
contain isoflavones, which help lower blood pressure levels.
