A kind of eating strategy can help you lower your blood pressure. We all know that whatever we eat will affect our cholesterol. But don't forget that whatever we eat also will affect our blood pressure. Recommendations from the American Heart Association lay out a menu for eating your way to lower blood pressure.

Here are some ideas you can do:

You should loss a few pounds of your weight, because it can also lower your blood pressure. Taking off 4.5 to 5.4 kg lowers systolic blood pressure by more than 4 points and diastolic pressure by almost 4 points. Cutting back what you eat by 100 calories a day translates into a 4.5kg loss over the course of a year. More weight loss usually translates into more reduction in blood pressure.

You are also sugested to cut out about three-quarters of a tea-spoon of salt a day. It can lower your systolic blood pressure by 5 points and diastolic blood pressure by almost 3 points. But remember that loss salt doesn't help everyone. If it doesn't make a difference for you after a couple of months, just stop doing it.

Eat something that contains more potassium. It does the opposite of sodiom. It can help lower blood pressure. The best way to get potassium is from food,mostly fruits and vegetables. Beets, beans, raisins, sweet potatoes, spinach, and bananas are brimming with potassium.

Finally, do not drink alcohol. A lot of alcohol is bad for blood pressure, along with the liver, pancreas, nernous system, concentration, sleep, and more. If you drik it, do not overdo it.
