Do you know how vitamins, minerals, can affect your blood pressure  

Hi there..
I really didn't know that :D
Thanks for letting me know..

Have a nice day..

i take porassium every day. i knew bananas are a god source but u can only eat so many. i love bananas but don't want one every day. glad to know these other sources. thanks.

I'm glad you put this in. I knew potassium was important and knew that diuretics could deplete it (as can heavy perspiration) but didn't know it controlled blood pressure. My mother, who just went through another trip to the hospital - this time for respiratory distress and congestive heart failure, has to take potassium supplements and reduce her sodium intake. The doctor agreed that potassium salt would be a good thing for us to get. She was in the mood for tomato soup at lunch, but we didn't have any, so I found an easy recipe online and made some using canned tomatoes. I didn't know tomatoes had so much potassium, which is good because she had a full bowl, plus a grilled cheese. The milk in the soup plus the cheese also provided a bit more. It looks like my quicky "homemade" lunch fit right in with her doctor's orders!! So - thank you very much for listing this. She was low in potassium and I probably am as well (I'm also on diuretics), so I'll be sure to keep this list handy to know what things best fulfill her needs.

You learn something new everyday. This is really good. Thank you for posting it up on this discussion. I am thirty eight and have just been told that I have high blood pressure. Three times this year my reading was high. I am severe asthmatic and I think it is all the medication that I am on, or maybe it is because I cannot breath everday. I have been searching high and low and did not know about these foods.

I eat very healthy. I take calcium supplements but if I need more potassium, I will try these on your list.

I take alot of vitamins. This is alot of important information and most of them are my favorite foods, and we can see which ones we need to be eating more of.

i also take potassium every day. i take so many pills i should rattle when i walk. thanks for the info.
