Healthy foods help in managing hypertension - Dr Chauncey Crandall

The best way to lower down blood pressure is to introduce healthy lifestyle changes, and eating a balanced diet. This is what Dr. Chauncey Crandall suggests.


Healthy eating habits are a great alternative, to conventional drugs and medication. Take a look at some of the healthy food products, which can help you fight hypertension.

Asparagus is a great source of potassium, which is as effective as any other potassium supplement. This vegetable also has diuretic effects that help to get rid of excessive fluid out of the body, thus managing blood pressure.

Hawthorn tea is great for the heart’s health. It leads to better and more efficient functioning of heart. Hawthorn tea contains proanthocyanidin, a flavonoid that makes blood vessels more relaxed. Drinking one cup of this tea daily is good for the heart and for managing hypertension.

Oatmeal is another food product, which amazingly can lower- cholesterol. This has been scientifically proven by one of the studies.

Nonfat yogurt is another heart-friendly food. One of the studies suggested that people who eat nonfat yogurt, are 31% less likely to suffer from hypertension.






Blueberries have always been known for their antioxidants properties. However, their ability to treat high blood pressure is often overlooked.

Blueberries contain pterostilbene, a chemical that particularly helps to control blood pressure. The natural blue pigment of this fruit is called anthocyanin, and it is great for managing high blood pressure.  Follow us on   https://twitter.com/crandallmd
