1. Citrus fruits

Lemons, grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, you name it! All citrus fruits do wonders for lowering blood pressure levels. They contain powerful minerals, plant compounds, and vitamins (vitamin C and B6) that will most likely maintain heart health by minimizing the most common risk factor for developing heart disease, namely high blood pressure.

A large study proved that drinking lemon juice every single day paired with walking at least 30 minutes could significantly reduce your systolic blood pressure. The researchers added that this is possible due to the flavonoid content and the citric acid found in lemons.

Oranges are superfoods too. Numerous studies demonstrated that enjoying orange juice on a regular basis can minimize blood pressure levels. However, before you do that, ask your doctor first. Both orange and grapefruit juice can interfere with your blood pressure medications.

Other impressive benefits of citrus fruits:

  • boosting eyesight
  • keeping you satiated for longer
  • promoting hair growth
  • acting as a detoxifier
  • aiding weight loss
  • preventing kidney stones
