Maybe: Magnesium-rich foods include black beans, okra, spinach, pumpkin seeds and squash seeds Are thought to help with blood presure.That being said getting at least 7 hours sleep at night,DASH diet,losing weight and exercising at least 30 minutes a day are proven extensively to lower blood pressure.

Agree with Dr. K: However, if diet, exercise, low salt intake, and losing weight do not normalize your blood pressure be sure to follow your doctor's advice about anti-hypertensive medication.
