Lower Blood Pressure: Sweet Potatoes Sweet potatoes are rich in two blood pressure-lowering nutrients: potassium and magnesium. Potassium helps offset sodium’s negative effects on blood pressure, and potatoes (both sweet and white) are one of the richest sources of this beneficial mineral. Diets high in magnesium have also been linked to lower risk of developing high blood pressure. To make your own healthy French "fries": Cut sweet potatoes into thin strips, coat with oil spray and desired seasonings, and bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until brown and crispy.
