So you want to take the natural route of lowering your blood pressure? Prescription medications can have dangerous side effects and throw your whole body out of whack, so that's not a bad choice. So what are the power house foods for high blood pressure?

Potassium works with sodium to help regulate fluid balance and bananas are loaded with it. Studies done in India suggest that 5 bananas per day can lower blood pressure half as effective as prescription medications. I won't suggest you eat bananas all day long because you may be sensitive to sugar. I recommend eating 2 a day and combining it with other natural hypertension treatments.

Fish- I'm not talking about the fish you buy from the grocery store that's fried, I'm talking about the kind that's lean and healthy. You can get salmon at your local grocery store and other healthy fishes. When you take a look at how many countries have a diet that consists mainly of fresh veggies, fruits and fish it only makes sense to assume fish will lower your high pressure. Salmon contains Omega-3 fatty acids, which are shown to be good for the heart. Not only does Omega 3 lower blood pressure but it also has been shown to stop and even reverse angina. It is suggested that limiting your salmon intake to one serving weekly will reduce concerns of heightened levels of mercury.

Celery is a super food that has been shown to be very beneficial to those with hypertension. Celery contains unique oil that relaxes the muscles that regulate hypertension, improving flow, and lowering pressure. Just 4 stalks a day or some celery juice does the trick. This type of natural diuretic comes without the negative side effects that you may find with a drug that has been prescribed to you, and has proven to be just as effective in certain studies.

I hope these foods have helped you, I also hope they help you see that prescription medications are not the only answer to lowering your high pressure. By eating right and taking supplements for high blood pressure you may be able to lower your blood pressure without prescription drugs.
