Potassium is an essential nutrient for all those suffering from high blood pressure. This trace mineral required by the body in small amounts helps to get rid of excess sodium and eases pressure on blood vessels. The processed and packed foods are mostly loaded with sodium and to balance it you need to add more potassium-rich food to the diet. Some foods that you may include are:

Vegetables: Leafy greens, tomatoes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes

Fruit: Melons, bananas, avocados, oranges, and apricots

Others: Nuts and seeds, milk, yoghurt, tuna and salmon
