Top Foods for Controlling High Blood Pressure

Lemons

In a 2014 study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, researchers investigated the impact of daily walking and daily lemon consumption on blood pressure. Both methods were found to effectively reduce blood pressure, but they achieved this through different mechanisms.

According to the study's authors, citric acid in lemon converts inorganic salts in the body into calcium citrate, enhancing their absorption. Additionally, lemon may improve the body's absorption of calcium and magnesium, which could contribute to lowering blood pressure.
