This occurs when the diet is poor in:
- Potassium (banana, spinach, potato, legumes, fresh fruits).
- Magnesium (oats, pure cocoa, seeds, nuts).
- Natural sodium in adequate amounts (homemade broths, unprocessed foods), especially if you sweat a lot or take diuretics.
It’s not about eating more processed salt, but about giving the body the right minerals so that the blood vessels stay firm and the flow to the brain is stable.
What to do
- Ensure every day, even in small portions:
- 1 fruit rich in potassium (banana, orange, melon, etc.).
- 1 serving of leafy greens.
- A seed or nut.
- Homemade broths if your doctor hasn’t prescribed a strict salt-free diet.
- Talk to your doctor if you’re already taking blood pressure medication: Dietary changes should be coordinated with your doctor.
When these foods appear constantly, the pressure responds better and those brief dizziness usually decrease.
