Doctor Recommends Foods That Help Lower Blood Pressure

Doctors say that some foods can help lower blood pressure.

Eating bananas, which have a lot of potassium, helps your body get rid of extra salt.

Dark chocolate contains stuff that boosts a substance called nitric oxide, which is good for blood vessels.

Beetroot also helps your body make nitric oxide.

Pomegranates contain substances that might lower blood pressure.

Finally, ginger helps relax blood vessels.

These foods can help, but it's also important to exercise, eat less salt, and take any medicines your doctor gives you.
