How to Start the Day With Low Blood Pressure

Did you know that eating a few simple foods can keep your blood pressure nice and low first thing in the morning? Here's how to start the day off right: Oat bran -- Rich in fiber, creamy, and packed with beta glucan, this will help to reduce your blood pressure surprisingly well. Better than frosted flakes or cornflakes, right? Blueberries -- Packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins, blueberries are one of the best superfoods to eat first thing in the morning. The anthocyanins in the blueberries can lower your BP by up to 10%! Eggs (and bacon) -- Eggs give you a protein boost to start out your day, keeping your blood pressure under control. With a bit of bacon for healthy fat, you've got a steady stream of calories all morning long. Green tea -- The EGCG in the green tea will fight hypertension, and drinking up to six cups of the stuff per day can have a marked effect on your systolic blood pressure. A small breakfast, but hearty, and one that will make a huge difference for your blood pressure first thing in the morning!
