🧠 Did Yoiu Know Your Gut Affects Your Blood Pressure
Your gut does more than digest food — it helps control your heart health.
A healthy gut can help lower blood pressure by:
⭐ 1. Reducing inflammation
Less inflammation = healthier, more flexible arteries.
⭐ 2. Producing “good” compounds
Healthy bacteria make SCFAs that relax blood vessels.
⭐ 3. Balancing sodium + fluids
A strong gut helps your body process salt better.
⭐ 4. Calming your nervous system
Better gut health = lower stress hormones.
🥦 How to Improve Your Gut Health
✔ Eat more fiber (veggies, berries, oats)
✔ Add fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut)
✔ Drink plenty of water
✔ Limit ultra-processed foods
✔ Move daily — exercise boosts good bacteria
✔ Manage stress + get solid sleep
❤️ Bottom Line:
A healthier gut supports healthier blood pressure — small daily habits make a big difference.
