High blood pressure means your heart has to work harder to pump blood around your body. This can put more pressure on your heart and blood vessels, which can subsequently increase your risk of a heart attack. Fortunately, this condition can be addressed by making healthy lifestyle changes, including these delicious breakfasts.

oats
Oats contain a fiber called beta-glucan, which can help lower cholesterol levels.

According to some studies, beta-glucan can lower blood pressure as well. Start your day with a bowl of oatmeal, or use oatmeal in place of breadcrumbs to add texture to meatloaf or vegetable hamburger patties.

Yogurt
The American Heart Association said that yogurt may reduce the risk of high blood pressure in women. Unsweetened yogurt (natural or Greek) is generally healthy. Serve with fruits, nuts or seeds as a healthy snack or dessert.

berries
Blueberries and strawberries contain antioxidant compounds called anthocyanins, which are a type of flavonoid. It was found that people who eat high amounts of anthocyanins, especially from blueberries and strawberries, have an 8 percent lower risk of developing high blood pressure compared to those who eat low anthocyanins. Enjoy berries as a snack or dessert after meals, or add them to smoothies and oatmeal.

If you have high blood pressure, you should avoid fatty cuts of meat or processed foods like sausage, as they can be high in salt and saturated fat, which can raise your blood pressure and put you at risk of high blood pressure.
