But be careful when making bitter gourd, don't put too much oil, or sugar.
At the same time, bitter melon compared with other vegetables, there is no very big advantage, so those who do not like to eat bitter melon, it is perfectly possible to eat more other vegetables to get the nutrients you need, there is no need to eat bitter melon for the "lowering of blood pressure" effect on purpose.
2. Black fungus
Like bitter gourd, fungus is also a healthy food. Mullein contains protein, fat, polysaccharides and elements such as calcium, phosphorus and iron as well as carotene, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and niacin. It is also a very healthy food.
Similarly, again healthy, fungus is just an ingredient, love to eat more, do not love to eat, eat less. There is no need to eat fungus specifically to lower blood pressure.
Those who don't like fungus can get the same nutrients by eating other mushrooms.

Black beans are rich in plant protein, dietary fiber, and many trace elements. And some studies have found that hypertensive patients without abnormal kidney function are better suited to get their protein from plants, and not only black beans, but also other beans and legumes are very good sources of plant protein.
Black beans can not only be soaked in vinegar, but can also be made into mixed grain porridge and soy milk.
4, vinegar soaked peanuts
Peanuts are a healthier food, richer in unsaturated fatty acids, and are good for vascular health when eaten in moderation.
Relative to other nuts, the price is also more economical. But pay attention to moderation, you can eat two handfuls per day, it is not good to eat too much.
But there's no need to have to soak it in vinegar, other ways to eat it, are good choices.
5、acid naira
Yogurt is rich in protein, calcium, and probiotics. It is more easily absorbed by the body compared to milk. It is recommended for both high blood pressure patients and healthy people.
It is important to note that people with high blood pressure try to choose yogurt that is plain and free of various flavorings.
In addition to this, it is important to eat a diet with less salt and MSG, and it is best to stop smoking and drinking.on account ofAlcohol consumption not only raises blood pressure, it also reduces the effectiveness of medications to lower blood pressure.After each cigarette, blood pressure stays high for the next few minutes; quitting smoking and drinking helps blood pressure return to normal.
The three foods that protect your blood pressure the most
Patients with high blood pressure, in addition to taking medication on time, can also be appropriate to eat more food to help regulate blood pressure. Recently, the U.S. "Healthline" website invited the U.S. clinical nutrition experts Natalie Butler summarized the most protective blood pressure of the three kinds of food.
Spinach. High-sodium diets raise blood pressure, and contrary to sodium, potassium prompts the kidneys to excrete more sodium, thus buffering the side effect of sodium in raising blood pressure. And, studies have also found that eating an appropriate amount of potassium-containing foods has a protective effect on cerebral blood vessels. Among the leafy greens, spinach is a big potassium-containing food. Many people like to eat canned spinach, but it contains a large amount of sodium, which is not conducive to the health of hypertensive patients. In case fresh spinach is not available, it is recommended to eat frozen bok choy, which does not lose nutrients and is easy to store. People can make a mixture of it with nuts and milk to drink. It should be reminded that patients taking warfarin anticoagulation should eat less spinach to avoid affecting the effectiveness of the drug.
Bananas. Bananas are one of the most common and nutritious fruits, and their high potassium and low sodium properties are excellent for stabilizing blood pressure levels.
In addition, magnesium, which is abundant in bananas, also has a regulatory effect on blood pressure. It has been found that if 368 milligrams of magnesium is consumed daily for three months, the overall systolic blood pressure will be reduced by 2 millimeters of mercury and the diastolic blood pressure will be reduced by 1.78 millimeters of mercury.
Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has allowed the banana industry to advertise the blood pressure-lowering and stroke-preventing effects of bananas. However, bananas may cause hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-preserving diuretics such as spironolactone, amiloride and amiloride. Therefore, patients taking these medications should limit their consumption.
Sweet Potato. Sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber, potassium, iron and vitamin B
6 and other nutrients, is conducive to gastrointestinal peristalsis, can make people smooth defecation, thus helping to reduce constipation-induced short-term increase in blood pressure. Potassium, which is rich in potassium, can promote a balanced level of minerals in the body and assist in lowering blood pressure. Some studies have found that potassium-rich foods such as sweet potatoes can reduce the risk of stroke by 20%.
However, sweet potatoes cannot completely replace staple foods or other vegetables, and consuming them on an empty stomach also tends to cause problems such as acid reflux and heartburn. ▲
