There are many foods which are shown to help lower blood pressure. Be sure to include these in your healthy diet!

GARLIC
Both garlic and onions are shown to have healthy effects on blood pressure. Who cares what your breath smells like aftewards! You're more healthy, that's what counts :)

GINGER
Ginger soothes a rough tummy, it tastes really good, and it helps with blood pressure.

POTASSIUM, MAGNESIUM, VITAMIN C, VITAMIN E
In fact, make sure you take a multivitamin every day! Your body can't function well without the US RDA components - that's the whole reason they are RDA :) Get those vitamins into you daily.

There are also foods you need to stay away from

CAFFEINE
If you've gotten really fond of tea or coffee, switch to a decaf variety. That will give you the same flavors without the jolt to your blood system.

SALT
We've all heard it by now - you need to have lower salt intakes to have a healthy life. Cut back on high salt items.

TRANS FATTY ACIDS
These things are bad for you in so many ways! Just avoid these completely. Totally.
