1. CITRUS
These bright and tangy fruits are packed with vitamins, as well as special plant compounds called polyphenols that may help lower your blood pressure naturally. While there have been some small but promising studies done on orange and grapefruit, it’s important to note that grapefruit and grapefruit juice may interact with certain prescription medications.

You may have heard that salmon and other oily fish are good for your heart, and the research backs up the hype! Fatty and oily fish like salmon and mackerel are great sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids can help lower blood pressure by tamping down inflammation and lowering oxylipins, certain which are compounds that cause blood vessels to constrict.
A recent study found that people with the highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood also had significantly lower blood pressure levels.
