Top Foods for Controlling High Blood Pressure

Unsweetened Yogurt

According to Harvard Health, people who get at least 2% of their daily calories from unsweetened yogurt usually have lower blood pressure and are up to 30% less likely to develop high blood pressure. This means eating at least six ounces of yogurt every three days can make a big difference.

Harvard Health, citing information from the American Heart Association's High Blood Pressure Research conference, noted that yogurt alone doesn't lower blood pressure or prevent high blood pressure. Instead, it's part of a healthy diet that helps manage blood pressure. Yogurt is just one important part of that diet.
