Low Blood Pressure: List of FoodsTo Help Raise BP

Blood pressure falling below normal levels results in low blood pressure or hypotension. Normal blood pressure usually ranges between 90/60 and 120/80 mm Hg. The other symptoms of low blood pressure are blurry vision, dizziness, fainting, light-headedness, nausea, and weakness.However, eating certain foods can help raise low blood pressure. Some of the foods are below.

Salt

Salt helps raise the dipping blood pressure. One should moderately increase the intake of sodium if a person experiences the issues of low blood pressure.

Water/Fluids

Intake of fluids in the form of water or juices helps combat dehydration as it is one of the major causes of low blood pressure. Insufficient intake of water decreases blood volume and further causes blood pressure to drop. As per doctors, people with low BP should drink at least 8 cups of water per day. They should also abstain from alcohol consumption.

Caffeine

Coffee and caffeinated tea stimulate the cardiovascular system and boost the heart rate. This is the reason consumption of caffeine may prove beneficial in the short run.

Foods rich in B12

The deficiency of vitamin B12 in the body lowers blood pressure. Eating foods rich in vitamin B12 such as fortified cereals, animal meats, help relieve the problem of low blood pressure.

Foods high in folate

One must include folate-rich foods in daily diet to meet the daily requirements. Foods that are sources of folate are asparagus, leafy greens, beans, lentils, citrus fruits, eggs..

Besides eating the above-mentioned foods, the person with a low blood pressure problem should also cut on carbohydrates. Avoid skipping meals and start having smaller meals instead of large ones as they digest quickly and maintain steady blood flow. However, one should rush to a doctor if there are severe symptoms of low blood pressure such as a rapid pulse, shallow breathing, or cold clammy skin.
