10 High Blood Pressure Diet Foods
High Blood Pressure Diet Food #4: Garlic
Garlic is able to make even the dullest of dishes come to life. It is also easy to use and just adding some crushed garlic can turn a bland meal into a gastronomical delight. Its benefits don’t stop there, though, as it can also be used to help keep your blood pressure down.
Studies have shown that eating garlic helps to reduce blood pressure by increasing the volume of nitric oxide. This helps make the arteries wider which, in turn, helps to reduce your blood pressure. Using garlic and herbs will also make a healthier alternative to seasonings such as salt, which contribute to high blood pressure.
