What foods increase blood pressure: not just coffee
06.10.2024 12:41
It is no secret that our health is directly related to the food we consume.
Therefore, by regulating your diet, you can influence important indicators, including blood pressure.
In this article you will find a list of products that will help alleviate the condition of hypotension.
Coffee
To raise your blood pressure, you can drink a cup of strong coffee, but you shouldn’t get too carried away with this drink, since an excess of caffeine can cause such phenomena as a strong heartbeat or arrhythmia.
Research shows that the effects of coffee will be more pronounced if a person drinks it rarely and his body has not adapted to the drink.
Salty snacks
Snacks like crackers, chips, nuts, pickles, olives, and soy sauce aren't exactly healthy. However, sometimes eating these foods can cause a short-term increase in blood pressure.
It is important to remember that the World Health Organization recommends consuming no more than 5 grams of salt per day, which is equivalent to one teaspoon.
Dark chocolate
Chocolate, which contains sugar and caffeine, will help if your blood pressure has dropped sharply. Don't try to fit the whole bar in - a few pieces will be enough.
A glass of water
Sometimes low blood pressure is a result of dehydration, so hypotension associated with a lack of fluid can be relieved with a few glasses of water.
