Orange juice and bannas. My BP was 142/90 and is now 125/80. Eating these twice a day nets you nearly 2000 MG potassium.

- hermitcrab 11mo agoYou stopped or started OJ+bananas to decrease your BP?
- hermitcrab 11mo agoI read somewhere that the potassium in bananas is supposed to decrease BP. Which seems strange given that sodium is supposed to decrease it. Aren't they chemically very similar?
- throwaway422432 11mo agoBananas are good, berries and most leafy green vegetables. Avocados, sweet potatoes, nuts and legumes. Switched to potassium-enriched salt for cooking so no-one else in the household has to suffer bland food. Beetroot juice (+ apple & carrot to counter the acidity) is also something you could try. Actually good for your blood flow with potential flow on effect for your BP. Personally taking Omega-3 and magnesium supplements.
- hermitcrab 11mo agoThanks for the info. Will look into the potassium enriched salt.
- aantix 11mo agoA concerted effort to consume 2-4g of potassium daily has definitely helped lower my blood pressure. I'd be wary of the sugars in bananas and orange juice.
