@drnnekaanuligomd: More than 50% of people with diabetes also have high blood pressure or hypertension. These foods help to lower blood pressure. 1️⃣Berries: have compounds called anthocyanins which give them their bright colors. These compounds act on blood vessels to help improve blood pressure. 2️⃣Garlic: contains allicin which helps with relaxation of blood vessels which then lowers blood pressure. 3️⃣Leafy greens: contain nitrates which help to lower blood pressure 4️⃣Legumes: contain potassium and magnesium, and lead to reduction in sodium which reduces blood pressure. 5️⃣Bananas: are rich in potassium which helps the body remove sodium, widens blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. 6️⃣Beets: contain nitrates which help to dilate blood vessels and in turn improves hypertension. 7️⃣Fatty fish: contain omega 3 fatty acids which are heart healthy and help to control blood pressure.
