Only a doctor can prescribe medications for the treatment of hypertension.
But a diet that would be useful for this disease can be created independently, taking into account the recommendations given by nutritionists.
According to dermatologist, cosmetologist, physiotherapist and anti-aging medicine doctor Olga Shuppo, some products help lower blood pressure.
Take spinach, for example – this leafy vegetable contains a lot of vitamins, as well as potassium and magnesium.
They are important electrolytes that can balance blood pressure and restore vascular elasticity.
In addition, the diet of hypertensive patients should include berries, fatty fish and olive oil (cold pressed).
Among vegetables, it is worth choosing beets and garlic, and among fruits, citrus fruits and pomegranate.
People suffering from high blood pressure are also advised to eat oatmeal, yogurt (without sugar), sunflower seeds and legumes, and if you want to indulge in something sweet, you can try dark chocolate.
