Or do you want to prevent it early on? And did you know that this #common disease is often caused by an unhealthy diet? The good thing is: you can easily change this by choosing the right foods. Which 7 foods you should eat regularly in the future. What is high blood pressure? High blood pressure is when #blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or higher. The high pressure in the cardiovascular system puts a lot of strain on the body's vessels. The heart, kidneys and brain are particularly at risk. This alone shows how important it is that you counteract this. Around 20-30 million people in Germany have high blood pressure. Typical signs of high blood pressure include headaches, dizziness, and tinnitus. Foods for high blood pressure No. 1: Olive oil Extra virgin olive oil is considered a natural blood pressure reducer because it contains many monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are incorporated into the walls of blood vessels and provide greater stability there. Foods for high blood pressure No. 2: Beetroot This red vegetable is particularly good for high blood pressure due to its high nitrate content. Nitric oxide has a vasodilating effect via various mechanisms and thus reduces the pressure in the vascular system. This improves blood flow and relieves the heart. Foods for high blood pressure No. 3: Bananas Bananas for high blood pressure, would you have thought that? That's because a single banana contains a lot of potassium, up to 551 mg. Along with sodium, potassium is one of the most important electrolytes for a functioning cardiovascular system. Food for high blood pressure no. 4: blueberries The small blue berries are considered a real superfood. They contain lots of vitamins, potassium, zinc and the plant substance polyphenol. Food for high blood pressure no. 5: ginger Ginger is useful for you if you have high blood pressure for two reasons. Firstly, its sharp essential oils have a warming and vasodilating effect. Secondly, ginger is a natural blood thinner and thus ensures that the blood can flow better. Food for high blood pressure no. 6: dark chocolate You probably don't associate chocolate with a healthy diet at first. That's true for most varieties. But dark chocolate with a high cocoa content has a slightly special status here. Food for high blood pressure no. 7: oats Finally, I recommend that you definitely put more oats on the table. They provide you with a lot of important nutrients that have a positive effect on your health. This is mainly due to their high content of beta-glucans.
