Power Foods: These 13 well-balanced foods will help reduce your blood pressure and risk of stroke and even heart attack nearly in half.
According to Prevention, research has shown that these foods which are naturally low in sodium and high in at least two of the three power minerals: calcium, magnesium, and potassium can help lower your blood pressure the easy and natural way.
1. White beans
One cup of white beans provides 13% of the calcium, 30% of the magnesium, and 24% of the potassium you need every day.
Tip: You can use this comfort food in side dishes, soups, and entrées. As a meatless source of protein, it’s a great choice for vegetarians. Choose no-salt added or well-rinsed low-sodium canned white beans, or cook dried beans overnight in a slow cooker.

2. Pork tenderloin
Three ounces of pork tenderloin provide 6% of the magnesium and 15% of the potassium you need every day.
Tip: Meat lovers, rejoice! This lean cut provides plenty of meaty flavor and satisfaction without the overload of saturated fat found in fattier types of beef and pork. Cook larger tenderloins (or do several on the grill or in the oven) and store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer for fast weeknight meals.
3. Fat-free plain yogurt
One cup of fat-free plain yogurt provides 49% of the calcium, 12% of the magnesium, and 18% of the potassium you need every day.
Tip: Cool and creamy, yogurt is a star ingredient in mineral-rich breakfasts, in sauces and salad dressings, and even in entrées. Most brands of regular yogurt tend to be a bit higher in calcium than Greek varieties. You can control the fat and nutrient content by making your own yogurt at home for your high blood pressure diet.
