In daily life, there are some foods that can help stabilize and lower blood pressure. Here are a few recommendations.
"One skin, one core": Watermelon rind, Lotus seed core
Take 9 grams each of watermelon rind and Cassia seed, decoct with water and consume. It has a blood pressure-lowering effect.
Lotus seed core is the embryo of the lotus seed, and the alkaloids in it have a good antihypertensive effect, but should not be consumed in excess.
"Two black, two green": Black fungus, Water chestnut, Celery, Spinach
Black fungus is known as the "meat among vegetables," and it indirectly lowers blood pressure by improving blood vessels.
Water chestnut is a good food with both dietary and medicinal effects. It has certain effects in terms of anti-cancer and lowering blood pressure. It can be eaten as a fruit or made into soup.
For people who experience headaches and head swelling due to high blood pressure, eating celery regularly can alleviate the symptoms. Consuming celery root as a decoction has a better effect.
Spinach helps slow down the damage of free radicals to blood vessels and can be used as a medicinal food for hypertensive patients.
