One of the best ways to control your blood pressure is to be sure you eat a healthy, balanced diet. There are some specific minerals you should consume on a regular basis for good blood pressure management. They are:
- calcium
- magnesium
- potassium
Most people just don't get enough of the above key minerals. If you are eating a healthy diet on a daily basis you probably don't have anything to worry about. If you are a person eating a diet of processed and canned foods, you might need to be concerned. If you are taking certain medications you also might need to have concern as to whether or not you are maintaining a healthy blood pressure.
Foods that have two or more key minerals that help control blood pressure are:
- white beans (1/2 cup contains 595 mg. of potassium, 67 mg. of magnesium and 96 mg. calcium)
- halibut (3 ounces contains 490 mg. of potassium, 91 mg of magnesium)
- spinach (1/2 cup of cooked spinach contains 419 mg potassium, 78 mg. of magnesium and 146 mg of calcium)
Potassium is found in:
- prunes
- apricots
- sweet potatoes
- lima beans
- bananas
Magnesium is found in:
- dark, leafy green vegetables
- unrefined grains
- legumes
Calcium is found in:
- dairy products
- fish such as salmon and sardines
- dark, leafy greens
It is estimated one in three American adults deals with high blood pressure defined as a bottom number reading 90 or higher, and have zero symptoms, however, continual high blood pressure is the number one cause of stroke or heart attack.
It is far better to control blood pressure with fewer drugs and healthy habits such as:
- lose weight if you are overweight
- get regular exercise
- eat more potassium-rich fruits and vegetables
- avoid processed and restaurant-prepared foods
- Don't drink too much alcohol
- Check your over the counter medications. Common over the counter drugs can elevate your blood pressure. Some of these are ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox), cold and flu remedies that contain decongestants.
