One of the easiest ways to start lowering your blood pressure, to bring it down, to start eating more potassium rich foods. It works by several different mechanisms. First, potassium acts as a natural diuretic. It promotes the excretion of sodium, that's salt in your body, and an excess water through your urine. It helps reduce the volume of blood and it lowers blood pressure.
Additionally, potassium helps relax the walls of the blood vessels, promoting better blood flow, reducing strain on the cardiovascular system taking pressure off the heart. By countering the effects of sodium and supporting vascular health, a diet rich in potassium rich foods such as bananas, sweet potatoes, spinach, and avocado, as well as many other vegetables contribute to the regulation of blood pressure and your overall cardiac wellness. So start eating more potassium rich foods, and your body will love you.
