Members exchanged practical advice for managing high blood pressure through diet, with one member sharing an extensive list of blood pressure-lowering foods including kiwi, bananas, garlic, dark chocolate, blueberries, spinach, and many others found through internet research on the Mediterranean diet. Several members confirmed they already eat many of these foods daily, emphasizing the importance of avoiding processed foods, watching portion sizes, and eating natural whole foods as a sustainable way of eating rather than a restrictive diet. A recurring theme was the community's shared commitment to managing health conditions through nutrition first, with members offering encouragement, sharing personal routines like daily blueberries with yogurt, and supporting each other through related health challenges.

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member, Hello Lesley, I searched the internet for 'foods that lower blood pressure' found many different sites, ended up making a list on a Microsoft Word Document.
Most foods are on the Mediterranean Diet my Doctor has me follow.
You can also search the diet on internet. Not really a diet for me, I eat all the foods on it. Always been a healthy eater.
If you need any more help, I would be glad to be here for you.
Have a blessed day,
Pam

Fruits & nuts help a lot. I eat a cup of blueberries every day, usually over some French Vanilla yogurt. That's really nutritious too. Peace
