Top Foods for Controlling High Blood Pressure

Bananas

Colleen Spees from the Ohio State University Medical Center explained to the American Heart Association that bananas are packed with nutrients and fiber, offering numerous health benefits. Most notably, their high potassium content is particularly effective for managing blood pressure.

Spees stated, "Potassium is a mineral that is vital for heart health, especially in terms of blood pressure management." This is great news, as just one banana provides 11% of the daily recommended potassium intake for men and 16% for women. While some foods contain more potassium, they are not as commonly consumed as bananas.
