Celery is a low-calorie, nutritious snack. Photo Credit Alfredo Maiquez/iStock/Getty Images. Nibbling on celery may benefit more than just your waistline. It can help your blood pressure, too. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, celery seed is a natural diuretic. Diuretics remove excess fluid from your blood, reducing stress against your arterial walls and lowering your blood pressure. This doesn't mean you should trade your medication for celery stalks, because more research is needed to prove the effectiveness of celery to control blood pressure.
According to www.Apple-Cider-Vinegar-Benefits.com, one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and one tablespoon of honey in a glass of water twice a day can lower your blood pressure. Both vinegar and honey have the mineral magnesium in them. Magnesium works to relax the blood vessel walls and help you achieve normal blood pressure. If you're interested in trying apple cider vinegar as a natural way to quickly and easily lower your blood pressure, talk to your doctor. Although vinegar is a completely natural ingredient, it's never wise to self-diagnose. Talk to your doctor to be sure you won't have any reactions with any other medications.
