Are you aware
that what you eat can seriously affect your blood pressure? Watching your diet
can be very beneficial to keeping your blood pressure normal. Even if
you have never had a problem with high blood pressure, taking necessary
precautions can be beneficial.
You could try a Vegetarian diet. In this diet you
will get many of the
following:
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin C
• Potassium
• Complex Carbohydrates
• Polyunsaturated Fat
• Fiber
All of these can have a great influence on your blood pressure.
Sugar can increase your blood pressure, especially the common table
sugar, sucrose. Try to limit your intake of this. A diet high in fiber
has been proven effective in lowering blood pressure. Along with
lowering your blood pressure this diet will also help you reduce your
cholesterol levels and even promote weight loss.
Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is very important as well. Any
diet that includes consuming fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy foods
and is low in total fat, cholesterol and saturated fat has proven to be
effective in lowering blood pressure.
Many people use more salt than they are aware of. Maybe because some of
us are just used to automatically salting our food unaware if it was
even previously salted when being preapred. (Particularly when eating out) Reducing your salt intake
will also help lower your blood pressure.
A diet high in potassium and low in sodium reduces your blood pressure
rise by reducing the effect of adrenaline. If you reduce your sodium
intake you must also increase your potassium intake.
There are some vegetables and spices that help control your blood
pressure. Many of these are very common vegetables and spices so you
may be helping your blood pressure and not even know it.
Onions' essential oil is very beneficial. If you have two to three
tablespoons of this essential onion oil a day, it could help reduce
your systolic levels. Tomatoes are also beneficial for controlling
blood pressure. They are high in GABA, a compound that helps lower your
blood pressure.
Broccoli contains several beneficial blood pressure reducing ingredients. Carrots
also have many compounds that do the same. Introducing these vegetables
to your diet will do wonders for your blood pressure. Even if you don't
suffer from high blood pressure, it's best to keep it at a safe level
and take the extra precautions to get there.
Garlic and celery are also great to add to your diet. Garlic is good
for the heart which you've probably been told before. Eating just one
clove of garlic a day has been proven to be beneficial.
Whatever diet you choose or whatever foods you try to limit, remember
you are doing it for your health. Many people learn to enjoy healthier
foods as they get older. If you have any questions or concerns about
your blood pressure get with your doctor. They will be happy to assist
you and answer any questions you might have. Taking care of your health
is very important and will make you feel much better.
