Know What to Eat

Potassium, magnesium, and fiber, on the other hand, may help control blood pressure. Fruits and

vegetables are high in potassium, magnesium, and fiber, and they’re low in sodium. Stick to whole fruits and veggies. Juice is less helpful, because the fiber is removed. Also, nuts, seeds, legumes, lean meats, and poultry are good sources of magnesium.

To increase the amounts of natural potassium, magnesium, and fiber you take in, select from the following:

• apples
• aronia
• apricots
• bananas
• beet greens
• broccoli
• carrots
• cinnamon
• collards
• green beans
• dates
• grapes
• green peas
• kale
