Top Foods for Controlling High Blood Pressure

Salmon

Dr. Alister McNeish, from the University of Reading, highlighted the cardiovascular benefits of salmon and other oily fish during a recent presentation on his team's research. While prior studies had already underscored their heart-healthy properties, the exact mechanisms behind their effectiveness remained elusive.

Dr. McNeish's research indicated that the omega-3 polyunsaturated fats found in salmon play a crucial role in reducing blood pressure. These fats are believed to activate potassium channels in blood vessel walls, which in turn promote vasodilation, enhancing overall blood flow.
