Better late than never you have decided on altering your eating habits and that in itself is half the battle won. My mother in law suffers with high blood pressure and her weight is more than the required level for her age. You can consider some of the below listed food items that can help you drastically reduce your weight as well as bringing down your blood pressure.

· Include bamboo shoots in your soups or stir fry some them in Chinese style. Besides lowering the risk of blood pressure bamboo shoots help purify blood too.

· Bottle gourd and snake gourd are two fine vegetable that help fight dryness and act as laxative. They help in reducing your BP as well as maintain the glucose level in your body.

· Garbanzo beans, Kidney beans help with food satiety hence they help you with the content feeling of having eaten food thereby preventing you from over eating. In a nutshell in addition to keeping your BP level in control the beans are considered very good for weight loss too.

· Oats and millet porridge are considered the best for heart conditions, blood pressure and of course weight reduction.

· Watermelons, Papaya’s, Apple, Oranges, pomegranate are some of the fruits that are very good for a healthy heart.
