If you want to reduce your chances of high blood pressure that can bring on stroke, heart failure and attacks, you need to take a cue from your primate relatives and eat some bananas.

Take action:

People whose diets are rich in potassium, found in fruit such as bananas, sweet melon (cantaloupe)  and oranges, may be less prone to high blood pressure. Besides reducing sodium and taking other heart-healthy steps, get out and get active by doing some exercise.
