Eat more potassium and less sodium

Your blood pressure can also be lowered by increasing your potassium consumption and reducing your salt intake. Potassium helps your body in two ways: it lowers the impact of salt in your system and reduces blood vessel tension. However, potassium-rich diets may be dangerous to those who have kidney disease, so consult your doctor before consuming more potassium.

It is simple to consume more potassium. Naturally high in potassium foods include:

• Low-fat dairy foods, such as milk and yogurt
• Fish
• Fruits, such as bananas, apricots, avocados, and oranges
• Vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, greens, and spinach
• ...

Keep in mind that everyone reacts to salt differently. Some people have salt sensitivity, which causes their blood pressure to rise when they consume more salt. Others don't react to salt. They can consume a lot of salt and expel it in their urine without their blood pressure increases.
