Dietary
Potassium-Rich Diet
for High Blood Pressure
Increasing dietary potassium through bananas, sweet potatoes, spinach, beans and avocado to counterbalance sodium's effect on blood pressure.
How it works
Potassium helps the kidneys excrete sodium and relaxes blood vessel walls, directly counteracting the hypertensive effects of excess sodium.
What to watch for
Those with kidney disease or taking ACE inhibitors/ARBs should consult a doctor before significantly increasing potassium intake.
