Foods that lower blood pressure
Bluefish
Such as sardines, anchovies, mackerel, tuna, albacore and herring, which are rich in omega 3.
Low-fat dairy products
Such as milk and yogurt, which increase the amount of calcium and help restore electrolyte balance.
Beet and beet juice
Also rich in nitrates that contribute to vasodilation and consequently relieve blood pressure on arterial walls.
Seasonal fruits and vegetables
Always fresh, to be consumed in abundance.
Chocolate
Consumed in moderate amounts and at least 70 percent dark, it is one of the most effective blood pressure-lowering foods due to its high content of polyphenols, precursors of nitric acid.
Pomegranate
Consumed fresh or in juice without added sugar, it is useful for the large amount of potassium it contains.
Olive oil
Rich in polyphenols and omega-6, which act positively on hypertension, particularly in women.
Linseed
Rich in natural omega 3 including alpha linoleic acid and peptides with beneficial effect on blood pressure.
