This ruby-red, tart beverage is more than just refreshing; it may pack a punch against high blood pressure. Several studies suggest that regularly drinking hibiscus tea can significantly lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, potentially due to its natural diuretic properties and compounds that act similarly to ACE inhibitor medications. It's caffeine-free and easy to brew hot or cold. Incorporating a few cups of hibiscus tea into your daily hydration routine could be a simple and delicious way to support your cardiovascular goals. Always check with your doctor, especially if on BP meds.

28. Prioritize Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Boost your intake of these essential fats, known for their potent anti-inflammatory properties and benefits for heart health. Omega-3s, particularly EPA and DHA found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, help improve blood vessel function, reduce triglycerides, and may contribute to lower blood pressure. Plant-based sources include flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts (providing ALA, which the body converts less efficiently). Consider incorporating fatty fish into your diet twice weekly or discuss omega-3 supplementation (fish oil or algal oil) with your healthcare provider for consistent intake.
