Most people get too much sodium and not enough potassium. A lack of balance between the two can lead to hypertension. Good potassium sources include cooked spinach, cooked broccoli, peas, avocados, watermelon, tomato sauce, mushrooms, nuts, meat, and poultry. - Saunas. Regular sauna use has been shown to cut high blood pressure risk in half. If you’re not used to saunas, start slow with five- to 10-minute sessions. Once you’re used to it, aim for 15 to 20 minutes a few times a week. - Grape seed extract. The seeds have powerful antioxidant properties that lower blood pressure. You can find grape seed extract supplements online and in health food stores. - Berries. One study found that eating a handful of blueberries once a week lowers the risk of high blood pressure by 10%. The active ingredients in berries are anthocyanins. They’re powerful antioxidants abundant in blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Editor’s Note: If you’re concerned about your blood pressure, you need to read Independent Healing.
