Regularly eating certain foods for breakfast can be an easy way to maintain normal blood pressure. Medical research shows that potassium plays a key role in regulating the cardiovascular system, and three popular foods — avocado, natural yogurt, and orange juice — contain high amounts of it.
Avocados:
According to the Cleveland Clinic, half an avocado provides about 364 milligrams of potassium. Experts say that this fruit can be used in a variety of dishes - from toast and salads to fish dishes. Regular consumption of avocados has a positive effect not only on blood pressure, but also on the condition of blood vessels and cholesterol levels.
Plain Yogurt
: One cup (245 grams) of plain yogurt contains about 380 mg of potassium, according to Healthline. It's also rich in calcium and riboflavin, which support bone and nervous system health. Nutritionists recommend choosing yogurt without added sugar to avoid spikes in blood glucose levels.
Orange Juice
According to Medical News Today, a cup of fresh orange juice can contain up to 496 mg of potassium. A small glass of 100% juice provides about 7.5% of the daily value of this element. Studies confirm that foods rich in potassium help normalize blood pressure and strengthen the cardiovascular system.
Doctors emphasize that potassium helps to remove excess sodium, which causes high blood pressure. So eating these three foods in the morning is not only delicious, but also good for the heart.
