High blood pressure can inhibit a person from taking a jog or eating certain foods. To be fair, a lot of people develop high blood pressure from eating unhealthy foods, so making a few changes to your diet may not be the worst thing. The trick is to eat foods that work to naturally lower your blood pressure. If you haven’t had luck at lowering blood pressure, it might be time to get some sweet potatoes in your diet.

Some people like to avoid sweet potatoes, or potatoes in general, because of their starch content. This super spud is different! Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber and contain essential blood pressure-lowering nutrients like potassium and magnesium. Let it be known that if you top your sweet potato with butter, brown sugar, sour cream, or cook it in heavy cream, you negate all of the benefits.

How Do They Do It?

Sweet potatoes contain a lot of potassium, which is known to help naturally lower blood pressure. Potassium actually helps your kidneys eliminate excess sodium from the body. By naturally lowering the sodium content in the body, blood pressure can come down as well. Additionally, sweet potatoes contain essential nutrients like folate, manganese, copper, phosphorus, and iron. The concentration of iron and calcium in sweet potatoes help them to naturally lower your blood pressure. Oh, and did we mention that they also have carotenes, biotin, and vitamins? Well, we just did.

There are many ways to enjoy sweet potatoes. You can juice them, sauté them, boil them, or roast them in the oven. Merely adding sweet potatoes to your diet, though, won’t lower your blood pressure. It is beneficial to limit your consumption of meat, dairy products, salty foods, refined sugars, processed foods, fried food, and other oily or fattening foods. Focus on eating plant based foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds for the best results.

Today is National Almond Day, which means we get to celebrate this amazing heart-healthy snack. Almonds are simply the best, and today is the day to indulge in some of your favorite almond variations. Whether you are a fan of munching on almonds, drinking the milk, baking with almond flour, or moisturizing with almond oil, the benefits of almonds are pretty amazing.

A Brief History of Almonds

Long before people were asking for almond milk in their lattes at coffee shops, civilizations were cultivating almonds in different locations by 4,000 B.C. Almonds trees thrived in the regions surrounding the Mediterranean, and Hebrew texts make reference to the nut. Almonds are even mentioned in the Bible in Genesis. Legend has it that King Tut took a handful of almonds to his grave to nourish him on his way to the afterlife.

Almonds continued to be a staple food that helped to sustain nomadic people in central and southwest Asia. They were a hot commodity on the Silk Road and were eventually circulated around the world. Now, roughly 80% of all the world’s almonds are grown in California.

How Almonds Benefit You

Almonds are loaded with vitamin E, magnesium, fiber, and are one of the best foods to nourish your heart. Even the FDA said that eating 1.5 ounces of almonds (20 almonds) a day, combined with a diet low in saturated fat, could help reduce the risk of heart disease. For your reference, 20 almonds satisfy 12% of your daily protein requirement and have the same amount of calcium as ¼ cup of milk. Because almonds contain potassium and have a low sodium content, eating them can regulate blood sugar and keep cholesterol levels down.

Great For Weight Loss

If you have a hard time losing weight, you need almonds in your life. They are rich in monounsaturated fat, which helps you feel full, keeps your hunger at bay, and works to eliminate cravings. This will help you control your portions so you won’t eat as much.

Silky Smooth Skin

Almond oil, or almond milk for that matter, can help nourish your hair and skin. Almond oil is rich in vitamins A & E, which help boost collagen production. This gives your skin a healthy shine. You can mix almond oil, raw honey, and fresh lemon juice and apply it as a face mask once a week. You can even grind fresh almonds and use them as facial cleanser.

In a world of processed foods, added sugars, trans fats, chemical additives, and GMOs, it can be hard to know if what your eating is vegan or not. There are actually lots of foods, which people think are vegan, but actually have animal products in them. We don’t want you to be in the dark about these secretly non-vegan foods, so we did some digging and found some pretty surprising results. We hope this helps in your quest to keep eating a healthy, vegan diet.

Frozen French Fries

It’s hard to believe that these aren’t just potatoes. Some, not all, frozen French fries are cooked in animal fat before they are frozen. Make sure you read the label to find out if they were. It will be beneficial to cut these out of your diet because they are loaded with chemical additives and processed ingredients.

Worcestershire Sauce

This classic sauce is notoriously made with anchovies to achieve its flavor. There are, however, brands that don’t use anchovies, which make it vegan friendly.

Chip

While this isn’t true for all chips, a lot of chips are made with pork enzymes. If you glance over the ingredients, you might miss “porcine enzymes.” Be on the lookout for this ingredient, especially in brands like Doritos and FritoLay.

Orange Juice

This may be a shocker to anyone on a vegan diet. Some orange juice brands usually enhance their OJ with omega 3, which they derive from fish. You can actually get omega 3s from plant-based ingredients. When you freshly make your juices, though, you’ll never have to worry.

White Sugar

First off, stevia and agave syrup are way healthier options than regular sugar. Refined sugar is not naturally white; rather, bone char, which is often labeled as “natural carbon,” is used to give sugar the white color.

Honey

Veganism means that you don’t consume anything that is a product of the animal kingdom. Since honey is a product of bees, it is technically not vegan, although some choose to overlook that.

Breath Mints

Altoid uses gelatin in the production of its mints. Ingredients may not be the first things you look at when you buy breath mints, but companies can use animal products in many things. Altoid does make a vegan-friendly breath mint called “sugar-free smalls.” It probably isn’t the only brand that uses gelatin, so be on the lookout.

Pad Thai

If you order Pad Thai at a restaurant, it is probably made with fish sauce because that is a classic ingredient in the dish. If you make Pad Thai at home, you can easily omit the fish sauce without compromising the flavor.

That’s a pretty surprising list, right? In addition to the above foods, marshmallows, Jello (obviously), some bagels and bread, dark beer, Caesar dressing, and French onion soup all have animal products in them. Make sure you double check for animal products when you’re buying food.
