Dietary
Potassium-Rich Diet
for High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
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
Get potassium from food not supplements unless medically indicated. Avoid potassium supplements with certain kidney conditions or medications.
