I was frequenting this site, Natural News for quite sometime, but I was mostly reading the articles. I didn't notice before that they have tons of infographics and I saw this one that would prove to be helpful, not just for people suffering from hypertension, like me, but also for those who want to improve heart health in particular. Out of these, I have yet to try Hawthorn berries and hibiscus. I don't even know if we have the berries locally but there may be an equivalent of that here. And I have yet to research about how to take hibiscus but I would guess that it's for making tea, sort of. The other items, I eat occasionally. Maybe it's time to have more of them in my diet.
There are a lot more foods that help lower blood pressure. As I have mentioned before, those foods rich in potassium are great! So, I'll just be sharing this one.

| Natural News: 9 Foods That Lower Blood Pressure |
Note to Natural News site owner... My comment that was under moderation was published, but my query was not answered. I hope that publishing my comment means you allow me to post this infographic. Thank you.
I'll share this to my mom who is hypertensive. However, have you heard of Quantumin? It's locally available and it helps balance all the minerals in our body and cures a myriad of illnesses too :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting graphics.. makes me want to step up and eat more fruits.
ReplyDeleteYay chocolates! Sabi nga nila healthy naman ang chocolates minus the nuts. But I think everything should be in moderation. Hibiscus is gumamela ba? Mukha kasi e. It's slimy and maybe high in colagen :)
ReplyDeleteMommy Maye
Weeh! Chocolates can lower blood pressure pala.. hmmmm but still in moderation hehehe
ReplyDeleteParang chocolate lang yata yung nabasa ko. HEhehe! =)
ReplyDeletePurple potatoes, raisins, chocolate are my favorite.. yay! good to know about this stuff:) Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo. At least I eat almost everything in this infographic except purple potatoes and raisins. :) Pero yeah, the chocolate should be the dark variety ata but should be taken in moderation.
ReplyDeleteGreat kasi the foods that lower the BP are also yummy. So it's not really a burden to eat them. =)

when i was pregnant i crave for kiwi,.. and purple potatoes are my fav when i was young... ngaun puro fast food! i miss eating real food! :(
ReplyDeleteand hibiscus? pano kaya kainin to at ano lasa? #curiouslang
hibiscus? is this our gumamela? the purple potatoes maybe our violet kamote?
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing the site, i bookmark it for mt mom...she likes reading stuff like this
infographics are helpful now adays because people are lazy to read text and having infographics, people can know the important facts at once without reading the whole text :)
ReplyDeleteI love that chocolate!.. I have of dark chocolate per week..a pack of Goya dark with almonds..Garlic is famous in this issue but it is nice to know there's a lot more. Thanks for the post. Very helpful to me.
ReplyDeletei'm surprised to know you have hypertension. good thing you are into healthy living.
ReplyDeletewow, this is informative. buti na lang, we always buy bananas. hurray for chocolates! i love dark chocolates! pero yung hibiscus? hmm, siguro nga it's for making tea noh? nacurious din ako dun ah. :-) thanks for sharing this, sis.
ReplyDeletei came from a family with high blood pressure, very informative post, I will keep this in mind always, but i get curious of what to do to the hibiscus? hmm.. boiled it?
ReplyDeletemy dad has a high blood pressure. this post will really help us on what to buy. Good hing we always have bananas everyday. :)
ReplyDeleteohhhh, I love that Chocolate is in the list! <3 Not so keen on the others on the list but will go for bananas, kiwis, and raisins.
ReplyDeleteWe always have chocolate and bananas here at home, kamote too. My parents are both hypertensive so we need those natural remedies too.
ReplyDeletepwede pala kainin ang gumamela? hehehe nice infographic!
ReplyDeleteOh, chocolates? What kind? This is a good infographic!
ReplyDeleteIt should be the dark chocolate kind with as little sweetener as possible
ReplyDeleteI have heard of rose tea, so I am assuming they also make hibiscus tea.
ReplyDeleteIt was this condition that birthed this blog, actually :-)
ReplyDeleteI have the tendency to write really long posts...sometimes, I give my readers a breather through infographics hehehe...or when I'm not in the mood to write
ReplyDeleteCurious din ako hehehe...magre-research pa ko
ReplyDeleteThat's the first one I saw also hehehe
ReplyDeleteHealthy din po ang nuts :-)
ReplyDeleteFirst time I heard of it...I looked it up already but it's kind of expensive ata?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, I like the sweet milk chocolate kind...but as I grew older, and because of my love for coffee too, I like dark chocolate with just a hint of sweetness
ReplyDeletevery helpful infographic, checking over mukhang nakakain ko naman ang karamihan ng food na yan
ReplyDeleteIf I am not mistaken, purple potatoes are the purple colored kamote. Our ube or purple yam has a different consistency to purple potatoes.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting infographic. However, I just wonder how the hibiscus or gumamela can be used to lower blood pressure.
ReplyDeleteI know that dark choco is healthier kaso matigas din ulo ko. I try to lessen the intake of white choco as much as possible nalang.
ReplyDeleteit's my first time to heard about purple tomatoes.. informative alright! XD
ReplyDeleteYup, I think purple potatoes are the purple kamotes. I'm totally recommending this to my dad, who's a stroke patient. Nice infographic, as usual! :D
ReplyDeleteI never thought that chocolate is one of food that lowers down cholesterol. Perhaps for now we would be lowering down our cholesterol because we got so plenty of chocolates in the house.
