In modern life, more and more people suffer from high blood pressure. Most people control their blood pressure by taking antihypertensive drugs. Each time they go to the hospital to get medication, they bring back a big bag of them, taking medicine more diligently than having breakfast. Antihypertensive drugs can only temporarily lower blood pressure and cannot completely reduce it. Once the medication is stopped, rebound effects occur, leading many hypertensive patients to be dependent on antihypertensive drugs. Apart from medication, there are actually many foods suitable for regulating blood pressure for hypertensive patients. Today, I will introduce some small ingredients in our daily life that are very useful for stabilizing blood pressure when eaten regularly.
