According to Everyday Health, certain foods can help you reduce your blood pressure.  For those seeking to control it with as little medication as possible, that’s very welcome news.  The foods you should be eating are:

Foods that are High in Potassium  Bananas, citrus fruits, salmon, tuna, flounder, melons, green/leafy vegetables, poultry, raisins, whole-grains cereals, potato skins, yogurt, tomatoes 

Foods that are High in Calcium  Broccoli, canned sardines, salmon (with bones), milk, tofu, yogurt, cheese, kale

Foods that are High in Fiber  Corn, apples, barley, brown rice, legumes, nuts, yams, whole-grain cereals, whole-grain bread

Foods that are High in Magnesium  Fish, green/leafy vegetables, legumes, meats, nuts, whole grains, poultry

I’ve always been a firm believer in following healthy dietary guidelines - even if you don’t have the problem they’re geared toward.  After all, if eating the above foods are beneficial to people who have problems with their blood pressure, surely eating them will help those of us who are lucky stay lucky.

Yogurt cheese (or YoChee) is a wonderful versatile ingredient you can simply make at home from your yogurt. It has substantial nutritional benefits ( a creamy food which is low or no fat plus protein and calcium). You might want to take a look at,” Eat Well the YoChee Way” a guide and cookbook to this important food. It really expands the use of yogurt cheese to desserts, main courses and much more. Also nutritional content. Also, the website YoChee.com contains a free yogurt cheese how- to slide show, nutrition information and free recipes.
