POTASSIUM
If your blood pressure is heading higher, potassium might help. More than 30 studies have shown that supplements can bring these numbers down -- possibly enough to keep you from having to take hypertension medication -- and reduce the risk of stroke and other complications.
The bottom line:
If you have healthy kidneys, there's no harm -- and probably some good -- in taking a supplement, even if your blood pressure merely borders on high. You don't need a big dose; even a junk food diet delivers about two of the three and a half to four grams you need each day. Take one 500-mg pill in the morning and another at night.
