Go bananas and lower your blood pressure.

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, people with hypertension may benefit from upping the amount of potassium in their diet. Adults should get at least 4,700 milligrams a day. Most don’t get enough of this important mineral. Bananas at 422 milligrams each are a great choice

Other good choices are, a baked potato with skin, 738 milligrams, orange juice, 496 milligrams per cup, and nonfat or low-fat yogurt, 531–579 milligrams per 8 ounces.

We know that eating too much salt can raise blood pressure, but most people aren’t aware of the benefits of potassium, which counters sodium’s ill effects.

Bananas is also a 1971 Woody Allen film that's extremely funny, and enjoying a good laugh is another great way to lower your blood pressure. Woody visits the fictional South American country, San Marcos attempting to show his concern for the native people to impress Louise Lasser. Saved by the revolutionaries, he is then indebted to help them. When the revolution is successful, the Castro-style leader goes mad, forcing the rebels to place Woody as their President. When traveling back to the U.S. to obtain financial aid, he reunites with his activist ex-girlfriend and is exposed. He is eventually sentenced to prison, but his sentence is suspended on the condition that he does not move into the judge's neighborhood. Louise then agrees to marry him. The consummation of their marriage was announced "play by play" by Howard Cosell.
