Do bananas help decrease blood pressure?

No, not alone: It's thought that a diet higher in potassium can lower our blood pressure, so foods rich in potassium can help. Check out the dash diet.

No!: Taking bananas don't decrease bp. Non-pharmacological therapy include reducing salt intake to 1.5gm daily, daily exercise and keeping ideal body weight!
