Basil contains magnesium, which is important for helping muscles and blood vessels relax, which is very important for blood pressure health. Basil is also a good source of iron, which can help to prevent anemia. Quick tip, if you eat iron-rich foods like basil with a vitamin C source like oranges or bell peppers, you increase your bodies ability to absorb the iron.
