Sesame seeds are actually great at lowering your blood pressure instead of increasing it because sesame seeds contain two unique compounds, sesamin and sesamolin, powerful lignans.

These compounds have been proven to help lower your blood pressure and lower your cholesterol levels as well.

Sesame Seeds are also a good seed to eat when trying to lose weight or burn off belly fat due to the above ingredients.

If you have high blood pressure then snacking on some sesame seeds can help lower your high blood pressure and keep your blood pressure at the correct levels.

You can also use apple cider vinegar to help lower blood pressure by mixing either a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water or taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar directly.
