8 ways to fight cholesterol and high blood pressure

5. Potassium.

Most people with high blood pressure have been told to limit their salt intake. One way to reduce the effect of sodium on blood pressure is to increase your potassium intake, says Mayo Clinic.

6. Eliminate processed foods.

One major source of unnecessary sodium is processed foods. Mayo Clinic suggests cutting out processed foods as the easiest method for reducing sodium levels.

7. Watermelon seeds.

Try grinding dried watermelon seeds and eating 1 teaspoon on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. This home remedy works because watermelon seeds have a compound that widens blood capillaries and relieves hypertension.

8. Lemon.

Control high blood pressure by drinking a cup of warm water with freshly squeezed lemon juice upon waking. Lemons are high in vitamin C and other natural antioxidants that reduce free radicals and lower high blood pressure.
