As reported on the Express page on Sunday (10/14), this may occur because hypertension puts pressure on the blood vessels and can enlarge the heart, make blood vessels blocked, rupture or leak, and can cause damage to the main organs. It also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, gout, vascular dementia, and problems with your vision.
But high blood pressure can often be prevented or reduced by eating the right foods. Nuts are recommended as part of a healthy, balanced diet and have a number of health benefits, including lowering high blood pressure readings.
So which beans are the best for those who have high blood pressure? According to one study, diets containing pistachio reduce systolic blood pressure and peripheral vascular responses to adult stress with dyslipidemia.
In addition, pistachio nuts in a low-fat diet can reduce blood pressure during times of stress. Other studies have found almonds have a similar effect. Both can be easily eaten as a snack or as an addition to a salad.
