A Personal Approach to Eating for Heart Health.

Reaching your 60s often brings a shift in how you think about your health. Blood pressure
becomes more than just a number at the GP’s office - it becomes a daily consideration.
The good news is that some of the most powerful tools for supporting healthy blood pressure are simple, colourful, and already sitting in your fruit bowl.

I'm going to explore how fresh produce can help lower blood pressure naturally, why certain
nutrients matter, and how to weave these foods into your everyday meals.

Why Fruit and Veg Matter for Blood Pressure.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is often linked to an imbalance of sodium and potassium in
the body. While sodium raises blood pressure, potassium helps lower it by easing tension in
blood vessel walls and helping the body flush out excess sodium. Many fruits and vegetables are naturally rich in potassium, fibre, antioxidants, and nitrates - all of which support heart health.

Key Fruits for Lowering Blood Pressure;
Bananas - a classic potassium powerhouse.
One banana provides around 10% of your daily potassium needs. Great sliced over your porridge.
