These foods contain a powerhouse mineral that is particularly effective at targeting high blood pressure, especially when paired with exercise and other forms of treatment.

What's the best way to cool down this summer? A bowl of chilled soup. Not only are cold soups wonderfully refreshing and delicious, they're also perfect for using up leftover seasonal produce.  Many cold soup recipes call for little to no cooking. And, as they need time to chill, they're all make-ahead. Another plus? Chilled soups can be made in big batches and frozen for later, just like their hot counterparts. Simply divide the soup into freezer-safe containers, then pop them in the freezzer for meals at a later date. When you know you'd like to enjoy them within the next day or two, transfer the frozen soup in the refrigerator until thawed.  Add a chilled soup recipe (or three) to your repertoire and make these fresh, flavorful dishes that taste like summer.
