High blood pressure is a lot more common than you might expect, with about half of U.S. adultsliving with the condition. A heart-healthy lifestyle is often recommended to help lower blood pressure, and can also play a role in preventing other heart issueslike heart failure or heart attacks. With delicious ingredients that are low in sodium, like lean proteins, healthy fats and fiber-packed veggies, these dinner recipes all meetour nutrition parameters for heart health. To support better blood pressure, each recipe contains at least 15% of daily potassium needs (705 milligrams) per serving, which can help improve muscle health and energy levels. Recipes like our Chickpea & Quinoa Grain Bowl or Shrimp Piccata with Zucchini Noodles are perfect additions to your summer menu.
