Potassium is an essential nutrient for all people suffering from high blood pressure. This mineral needed by the body in small amounts helps to get rid of excess sodium and reduces pressure on blood vessels.
Processed and packaged foods are mostly loaded with sodium and to balance this, you need to add more potassium-rich foods to your diet. Some of the foods you may want to include are:
Vegetables: Leafy greens, tomatoes, potatoes and sweet potatoes
Fruits: Melons, bananas, avocados, oranges, and apricots
Others: Nuts and seeds, milk, yogurt, tuna and salmon
