Nutrition experts recommend healthy fats like those found in nuts as part of a heart-healthy diet that can help lower your blood pressure. Cashews are especially good for blood pressure, not only because of their healthy fats but because of their high magnesium and potassium content, both of which help regulate blood pressure.

These rosemary and olive oil roasted cashews are delicious without any added salt. They require only a few ingredients and just 15 minutes to prepare meaning you can have a healthy snack in no time.
