Here are eight of my favorite foods to control blood pressure naturally. Number one, beets are the best to start with because they’re widely advertised and they provide nitric oxide that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Number two, arugula actually provides more nitric oxide than beets and other leafy greens are also excellent. Number three, pumpkin seeds and other nuts are high in magnesium which helps to produce nitric oxide. Number four, berries because they have potassium, they act like a beta blocker and uh they have anthocyanins that enhance endothelial function that can relax blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Number five, green tea or hibiscus tea induces a gentle diuresis that helps to keep blood pressure down. Number six, garlic contains allium that helps to control blood pressure by enhancing nitric oxide release. Number seven, basil helps to control blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin 2, a natural hormone that raises blood pressure. And number eight, dark chocolates. Studies show that dark chocolate with over 50% cacao helps to lower blood pressure. To get a list of more nitric oxide or magnesium foods, get my free ebook, Health Secrets, at peaceDiet.org.
