Blood Pressure
The higher a person's blood pressure, the greater the risk of other health issues occurring. Persistent high blood pressure may lead to several serious and even life-threatening conditions, including heart disease, heart failure, kidney disease and vascular dementia.
Salmon contains fairly high levels of potassium, which may help control blood pressure.3‘How Potassium Can Help Control High Blood Pressure.’ Www.heart.org, www.heart.org/en/health-topics/high-blood-pressure/changes-you-can-make-to-manage-high-blood-pressure/how-potassium-can-help-control-high-blood-pressure The omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish may also help lower blood pressure levels by reducing inflammation and lowering triglycerides.
