Number 4. Ginger.
A review of six studies showed that eating ginger supplements of 3 grams or more per day for eight weeks helped reduce bl00d pressure in individuals 50 years old or younger.
In another twelve week study done on 37 participants with metabolic syndrome, eating 2 grams of ginger powder per day significantly lowered levels of bl00d pressure, triglycerides, and fasting blood sugar, compared with a placebo.
Number 3. Potassium.Many studies have showed that eating higher amounts of potassium, whether through food or supplements, can help lower blood pressure levels.
One exception is people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), who need to strict the amount of potassium they consume.
The reason potassium works is that it helps enhance sodium excretion through the urine. With less sodium in the body, there is less fluid retention, which reduces blood pressure and helps blood vessels relax.
