5. Soy

Soy contains isoflavones, estrogen-like compounds that help lower the upper blood pressure reading (systolic), which represents the force inside the walls of arteries when the heart is contracting.

Isoflavones also play a role in the production of enzymes that make nitric oxide. These enzymes are essential for the relaxation of blood vessels and help reduce blood pressure. Ask your doctor whether adding soy to your diet is right for you.
