2. Berries
Next up, let’s talk about berries. Berries are also pretty miraculous when it comes to lowering your blood pressure. Many berries are packed with flavonoids, which are compounds that have actually been found specifically to lower blood pressure and prevent hypertension. Certain kinds of berries are definitely better than others, but no matter what type of berries you add to your diet you’re going to get some health benefits.
That’s because, besides the flavonoids that berries contain, there are lots of other nutrients in there as well that are good for other parts of your body. Three of the best types of berries to use to prevent hypertension and lower blood pressure are blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
Luckily, these are also three of the easiest ones to incorporate into your diet. You can put them in your yogurt, add them to your cereal in the morning use them in a salad, and about a thousand other ways.
