There is some evidence to suggest that apple cider vinegar may help lower blood pressure. Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made from fermented apples. It contains acetic acid, which has been shown to lower blood pressure in some studies. However, more research is needed to confirm these results. If you are interested in trying apple cider vinegar, be sure to talk to your doctor first. Some people may experience side effects like diarrhea and indigestion when they consume apple cider vinegar.

DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension) or Mediterranean diet that is rich in potassium and low in fat and salt can significantly lower blood pressure.
