5 Easy Diet & Lifestyle Tips to Lower Your Blood Pressure

A diet high in potassium containing foods is also known to be beneficial to heart health.

Dietary potassium is found in many foods, but particularly:

• Avocado, mushrooms, broccoli, root vegetables, beans and peas.
• Bananas, kiwi, grapes, dried fruits, oranges, orange juice, and melons.
• Unsalted mixed nuts.
• Reduced fat milk and yogurt.
• Lean meat and fish.

Try to include more of these foods in your daily diet.

#5 Drink alcohol moderately

Drinking too much alcohol will increase your blood pressure. So, if you drink alcohol, limit your intake to no more than one drink per day for women, and no more than two drinks per day for men.
