Eating two bananas a day can significantly reduce high blood pressure. According to a recent study reported in The New England Journal of Medicine, including bananas in your everyday diet can cut the risk of death from strokes by up to 40%. The key ingredients in the fruit are its high level of pottassium and low sodium levels. Research has shown that including the fruit in a healthy eating plan can reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure, and lower an already elevated blood pressure.
For a comprehensive healthy eating plan that reduces high blood pressure, consider the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institutes’ ‘DASH’ eating plan.
‘DASH’ or ‘Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension,’ is a clinical study that tested the effects of nutrients in food on blood pressure levels. Results clearly indicate that those with high blood pressure experienced a significant
reduction in it by following an eating plan that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy foods.
Another US clinical study, ‘DASH-Sodium,’ examined the effect of a reduction in dietary sodium on blood pressure, as people followed either the DASH eating plan or a typical American diet. Results showed that reducing dietary sodium lowered blood pressure for both the DASH eating plan and the typical American diet. The greatest benefits were for those eating the DASH eating plan at the lowest sodium level (1,500 milligrams per day).

"We urge everyone to make it their New Year's resolution to have a blood pressure check and lead a healthier lifestyle to lower their numbers.”
