The number one killer in the United States is Cardiovascular Disease The “silent killer,” is a pervasive health issue that can stealthily escalate into life-threatening conditions such as heart disease and stroke.
There are certain foods that can lower your blood pressure Leafy greens should be part of your dietary lifestyle Rich in potassium, leafy greens such as kale, arugula, and spinach are crucial for maintaining a balanced blood pressure. Potassium helps mitigate the effects of sodium in your body, keeping your blood pressure in check.
If there is one fruit everyone should eat— it is blueberries. I love all berries in general. Blueberries are a powerhouse of flavonoids, particularly anthocyanins, which have been shown to decrease blood pressure significantly. These small but mighty fruits enhance the elasticity of blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing pressure
I would encourage every patient to eats beets Beets are loaded with nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide—a compound that helps relax and dilate blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. Consuming beetroot juice, in particular, has been shown to have a rapid and substantial effect on blood pressure control.
I eat steel cut oatmeal in the Fall and winter at least three times a week. Oats are a fantastic source of beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that has a direct effect on lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This heart-healthy grain works by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates into the bloodstream, helping to maintain steady blood pressure levels.
