African yam/ Sweet Potato:
African Yam and Sweet Potato plays an important role in lowering blood pressure.
They provide a good source of vitamin B-6. This vitamin is important in protecting blood vessels from damage. Vitamin B-6 breaks down a material known as homocysteine, which increases the risk of medical conditions such as heart attacks and strokes.

Guavas/Bananas:
Guavas are beneficial in regulating blood pressure. It is said that one guava contains almost a similar amount of potassium that's present in bananas. Potassium reverses the effects of sodium, thereby regulating the balance of blood pressure. Also, it reduces cholesterol levels in the blood by preventing it from thickening.

Beans/ Cabbage:


Cabbage is high in a chemical called glutamic acid, which can help in reducing blood pressure. Glutamic acid is the most common amino acid and accounts for almost a quarter of vegetable protein and almost one-fifth of animal protein.

Beans are high in fibre, magnesium and potassium. These are excellent ingredients for lowering blood pressure and improving overall heart health.

Try making some 'oyibo medede' with these two : [img]http://1.bp..com/_JS2VCV9M96o/TUxBKJ1Jy8I/AAAAAAAAAFY/kQ63vRpssKQ/s320/100_0447.JPG[/img]

Garlic/ Onions :

Eating a clove of garlic a day was found to have beneficial effects on hypertension control. In a study found, people with high blood pressure when given one clove of garlic every day for 12 weeks, blood pressure and their cholesterol levels are significantly reduced.
Such as garlic, onions are also useful in managing hypertension. Sulfur compounds contained in garlic has been shown to reduce high blood pressure. This is not surprising because onion is a cousin of garlic.

Tilapia/ Olive oil:

Tilapia fish contains a number of nutrients, including some compounds that can help to lower high blood cholesterol. The most beneficial fat found in tilapia is monounsaturated fats. Consuming these fats has a positive effect on your blood cholesterol levels: the fat increases the levels of high-density "good" cholesterol, while reducing the levels of low-density "bad" cholesterol.


Olive oil contains polyphenols, which help to keep your levels of LDL cholesterol within healthy ranges. Regular consumption of olive oil can help decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

High blood presure is dangerous. But while trying to arrest the situation especially with yam, make sure you don't eat the YAm that will send you to your early grave faster than HBP. Because the kind of yams that i see these days re-enforces that bible passage that says "Upon this rock...". If you must eat YAM, don't talk and make sure you have water close to you. Thanks.
