Latest research has found that for patients with high blood pressure, eating foods rich in potassium ions, such as bananas and mushrooms, on a daily basis can help control blood pressure.
Research indicates that eating five bananas a day can achieve 50% of the therapeutic effect of medication for high blood pressure. Furthermore, almost all types of mushrooms, including shiitake and straw mushrooms, have blood pressure-lowering effects and also possess anti-cancer properties.
