Dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa contains flavonoids that may help lower blood pressure. A square a day is enough!
7. Increase Potassium Intake
Potassium helps balance sodium in your body. Great sources: bananas, sweet potatoes, spinach, avocados, and beans.
8. Meditation & Deep Breathing
Practices like mindfulness, yoga, or slow breathing exercises can calm the nervous system and reduce blood pressure.
9. Apple Cider Vinegar
Some studies suggest it can help lower blood pressure by improving heart health and aiding with weight loss. Try 1–2 tsp diluted in water before meals.
10. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Found in flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and fatty fish like salmon. They reduce inflammation and support heart health.
