The Top 20

TOP 20 FOODS
For Keeping Blood Pressure Down

The top twenty foods for keeping your blood pressure down are:

* Apples
* Apricots
* Avocados
* Bananas
* Broccoli
* Brussel Sprouts
* Cantaloupe
* Corn-On-The-Cob
* Eggplant
* Honeydew Melon
* Nectarines
* Oranges
* Pasta
* Potatoes
* Raisins
* Rice
* Squash
* Unsaturated Oils
* Watermelon
* Fruit Juices (except Tomato)

Foods highlighted in red are also especially low in sodium, high in potassium and low in cholesterol.

Surprised by some of the foods on the list? I was and I wasn't - seeing as how I like most of those foods listed ( you all know of my aversion to Broccoli) and my having low blood pressure - it was 100/60 the other day when I was in severe pain from the back muscles knotting up according to the nurse.
You just can't rile me, even in the most pain I have ever experienced I remained calm, cool and collected, ok, granted the pulse was racing - at a frantic 50 beats per minute.

I have been eating the 'right stuff' all my life. How about you?
