4. Eat more potassium-rich foodsPotassium is an important mineral.
It helps your body get rid of sodium and ease pressure on your blood vessels.
Modern diets have increased most people's sodium intake while decreasing potassium intake.
To get a better balance of potassium to sodium in your diet, focus on eating fewer processed foods and more fresh, whole foods.
Foods that are particularly high in potassium include:
#Vegetables, especially leafy greens, tomatoes, potatoes and sweet potatoes
#Fruit, including melons, bananas, avocados, oranges and apricots
#Dairy, such as milk and yogurt
#Tuna and salmon
#Nuts and seeds
#Beans
Bottom Line: Eating fresh fruits and vegetables, which are rich in potassium, can help lower blood pressure.
