Want to curb high blood pressure? Study says eating more bananas and broccoli

Eating bananas or broccoli, rich in potassium, may effectively help lower hypertension - affecting over 30 per cent of adults globally, according to a study.

Researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, found that increasing the ratio of dietary potassium to sodium intake may be more effective for curbing blood pressure levels than simply reducing sodium intake. "Usually, when we have high blood pressure, we are advised to eat less salt," said Anita Layton, Professor of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Pharmacy and Biology at the University of Waterloo.
