What are the blood pressure lowering foods and fruits?

Antihypertensive foods and fruits can help regulate blood pressure. These mainly include potassium-rich foods such as celery and legumes, iron-rich foods like black fungus (black wood ear) and spinach, as well as fruits rich in various vitamins and minerals, such as apples, oranges, and bananas. These foods and fruits may help regulate blood pressure to a certain extent, but they cannot replace antihypertensive medications.

Specifically, celery is rich in potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure; apples contain malic acid and abundant potassium, which can bind with excess sodium in the body and aid its excretion, thus helping to lower blood pressure; oranges, rich in vitamin C and glucose, have an auxiliary hypotensive effect on hypertension caused by chronic hepatitis; bananas contain abundant potassium and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors that help prevent increases in blood pressure. In addition, fruits such as kiwifruit, hawthorn, and persimmon also have blood pressure-lowering effects.

If you have any concerns, it is recommended to seek timely medical advice.
