  Are you aware that your diet can seriously affect your blood pressure? Keeping a close watch on your diet
can often be very beneficial to keeping your blood pressure normal. Even if
you have not yet had a problem with high blood pressure, taking precautions can be beneficial in preventing high blood pressure.
You could try a Vegetarian diet. In this type of diet you will get many of the following:
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin C
• Potassium
• Complex Carbohydrates
• Polyunsaturated Fat
• Fiber
These vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients 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 sugar. 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.
Alcohol is also something which needs to be kept under control if you want to maintain normal blood pressure. The rule of thumb is one drink a day for women and two for men. Remember, however, that we are all different. I find that with two drinks a day my blood pressure goes up, so I limit myself to one Corona light a day and it stays within a healthy range.
A diet which is rich in fruits and vegetables is very important in any diet for healthy blood pressure. Any diet that is based on fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy foods and, is also 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 which is high in potassium and low in sodium can help reduce your blood pressure by reducing the effect of adrenaline. To be effective, remember that, 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.
The essential oil of onions 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 eventually choose to follow, or whatever foods you try to limit, remember that the goal is to do it for your health. Believe it or not, many people actually learn to enjoy healthier foods as they get older. If you have any questions or concerns about your blood pressure ask your doctor. He or she should be happy to help you and answer any questions you might have. Taking the initiative in taking care of your health is very important and will make you feel much better.
