Learn more about the 7 best fruits that help control blood pressure:
Bananas
Bananas contain a lot of potassium, a mineral that plays an important role in controlling high blood pressure.
Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, tangerines and grapefruits are good foods that lower blood pressure. A study conducted in Japan in 2014 showed that women who took daily walks and consumed lemon juice had lower blood pressure.
Another citrus fruit that lowers blood pressure is passion fruit. This is because it’s rich in potassium and fiber, which helps remove cholesterol from the arteries, thinning the blood and reducing the risk of heart attacks.
Kiwi
Kiwi is another fruit that, according to one study, can lower blood pressure in people with slightly elevated levels.
Watermelon
Watermelon contains potassium as well as citrulline, which helps the body produce nitric oxide, a substance that relaxes blood vessels and stimulates the flexibility of the arteries, which can lower high blood pressure.
Grapes
Grapes can also control high blood pressure as they reduce the formation of blood clots.
Pomegranate
Pomegranate is another fruit that can lower high blood pressure in the short term. Too bad it’s so expensive! But it’s wonderful.
Red fruits
And finally, the red fruits, such as blackberry, blueberry, strawberry and cherry. They all play an important role in blood clotting and regulating blood pressure. In addition, there are studies that show berries can improve cognition, or brain function.
