Healthy snacks for high blood pressure

Snacks list

Celery

Celery is considered a good and healthy snack for individuals with high blood pressure due to its beneficial nutritional profile.^[1][2][3] It is a low-calorie and high-water content vegetable^[4] that provides essential nutrients like potassium, folate, and fiber.^[5][6] Potassium is known to help regulate blood pressure by counteracting the effects of sodium.^[7][8] Additionally, celery contains phytochemicals such as phthalides and apigenin,^[9] which research suggests may contribute to lowering blood pressure by helping to relax blood vessel walls^[10] and potentially acting as natural calcium channel blockers and diuretics.^[9] These properties, combined with its overall healthy composition, make celery a suitable snack choice for those looking to manage their blood pressure.
