May help lower blood pressure

Many individuals worldwide have high blood pressure, which makes your heart work harder and increases your risk of heart disease or stroke. According to recent research, a potassium-rich diet may help decrease blood pressure.

Potassium, which is abundant in red leaf lettuce, appears to reduce blood pressure by decreasing the effects of salt and aiding in blood vessel dilation. Increasing your intake of red leaf lettuce, along with other potassium-rich foods like avocados and beans, may help keep your blood pressure within a safe range.
