Foods that fight against the Blood Pressure

Hello my dear friends we have heard about many foods that shrink our belly weight loss foods and foods for the fairness of the skin but now its time to know that new researches have found foods that fight against blood pressure we know that red meat will be topping the list okay now go through the article ............for your healthy diet.

Some of the research is associative — i.e. people with low blood pressure are the same people who eat certain foods — because it’s extremely difficult to document and prove causation when it comes to diet and health conditions. Other studies focus on a nutrient known to have specific properties, then recommend foods containing that nutrient.

Either way, who better to take dietary tips from than those who’ve managed to keep their blood pressure low? Here are specific foods that research recommends to lower blood pressure.

1. Non-fat Yogurt

This one’s a myth-buster, because “dairy” is often lumped in with other sources of saturated fat in heart health nutrition recommendations. But actually, it turns out non-fat yogurt is good for your heart, unlike cheese and many other higher fat dairy products. (And don’t forget that non-fat Greek yogurt is higher in protein than regular yogurt, an added benefit.)

Research presented at the High Blood Pressure Research 2012 Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association (AHA) found that people who ate more non-fat yogurt were 31 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than others. The study included upwards of 2,000 adults, who were tracked for 14 years. The 31-percent reduction was found in people for whom non-fat yogurt made up 2 percent or more of their daily calories.


Research presented to the AHA linked non-fat yogurt with low blood pressure

2. Sunflower Seeds

All nuts and legumes are heart-healthy, but sunflower seeds seem to be in a class of their own when it comes to blood pressure. They’re extremely high in vitamin E – just a handful and you’ve consumed 75 percent of your daily intake. They’re also rich in folic acid and protein and are a good source of fiber. Beware, though; the typical prepackaged snack pack of sunflower seeds is super salty, and sodium has the opposite effect on blood pressure. Only unsalted seeds will do in this case.

Experts don’t know exactly how sunflower seeds lower blood pressure, but Spanish researchers conducted an experiment in which they discovered that during digestion, sunflower seeds release a peptide that inhibits the body’s production of an enzyme that’s known to raise blood pressure.

3. Bananas

Two bananas a day (or even one and a half) could keep the cardiologist at bay. That’s because bananas are among the most potassium-rich foods, and the amount of potassium in 1.5 to 2 bananas has been shown to drop blood pressure by 2 to 3 points, according to one report. Potassium boosts kidney function, helping them flush sodium out of the body. Potassium also helps artery walls relax. If you don’t like bananas, raisins, prunes and watermelon are good sources of potassium, too.
