Bananas Might Be Your Blood Pressure Hack

Turns out, eating more bananas (and other potassium-packed foods) could do more for your blood pressure than just cutting back on salt! Canadian researchers say our bodies are basically built to thrive on a high-potassium, low-sodium diet—think more fruit, less processed stuff. Bonus: their new model shows the potassium-to-sodium ratio is key. If you’re over 40 or haven’t checked your BP in a while, maybe it’s time. Who knew cheap fruit could be such a game-changer? #HealthHacks #BloodPressure #Potassium #Bananas #Wellness #Health

Can Apple Watch Replace Your BP Monitor?
