Pass the chilli sauce! Spicy foods 'may lower blood pressure'. Eating mouth-numbing foods such as fiery chilli peppers could help lower blood pressure, a new study has suggested. Researchers found the active ingredient that gives the peppers their heat - a compound known as capsaicin - also relaxes the blood vessels.
And best of all, thereâs evidence that suggests that these are herbs and spices that lower high blood pressure. Some common spices that you can use in place of salt are black pepper, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, chili powder, curry powder, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper is especially known for reducing LDL, or âbadâ cholesterol. You can also use saffron, which contains a chemical called crocetin which helps lower blood pressure.
