According to experts, Below are six super foods you can use to naturally lower your blood pressure.
Olive oil can be used regularly for cooking or for salad dressing. This will mean spending more on oil since olive oil costs more than the regular oil. What are the components of olive oil that help to reduce pressure? Oleic acid and antioxidant polyphenols are major components of olive oil or extra virgin olive oil that help lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Eating yogurts frequently can also help to lower your blood pressure. How does yoghurt help to your blood pressure. A study form the University of South Australia found for people with elevated blood pressure, frequently eating even small amounts of yoghurt was associated with lower blood pressure( University of South Australia, December 2021). According to one of the researchers on the study, regular of yoghurt, could lower your blood pressure readings by up to seven points. Based on this research, I would suggest that you should try to eat at least one yoghurt per day.

Garlic has anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties that can fight coronary heart disease by unplugging arteries. The gas that garlic produces in the stomach relaxes your arteries and lowers blood pressure. Eating garlic regularly can help to reduce your blood pressure.
Bananas have a high of potassium, which is known to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke. Bananas are also low in sodium. Just three large bananas per meal can provide an accumulated total daily dose of potassium that will help to reduce blood pressure and fend off various cardiovascular diseases. According the Colorado State University (CSU) the aim should be to eat about 4,700 mg of potassium (K+) per day which is equivalent to Adequate Intake of potassium for a day. One medium sized banana has 422 mg of potassium. If you find eating three large bananas per meal too boring, use variety to achieve the same goals. Eat celery, bananas, carrots and oranges which contain a lot of potassium.
Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that helps protect your cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. The lycopene and other carotenoids found in tomatoes help in reducing high blood pressure and lowering the risk of heart disease. According to the American Heart Journal eating about 250mg of tomato extract for eight weeks can significantly lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure among those who have high blood pressure. According the Colorado State University (CSU) on potassium in fruits and vegetables, one large tomato contains 300 mg of potassium.
