what foods should you avoid with high blood pressure.?

Answer 1

#1 Salt!

Anything with high salt content

Answer 2

Nothing with salt. Stay away from any pre-processed food, as they all have hidden salt and fat in them.

Nothing fried. Trying to break down fried foods is too hard on the body of a high blood pressure patient.

Try to stick to calming herbal teas, instead of the caffeine in coffee and colas.

No alcohol. No cigarettes. No recreational drugs.

Answer 3

Most people eat too much salt, which makes high blood pressure worse. Low-sodium diets are often prescribed to help control high blood pressure. The most common source of sodium in the diet is table salt added to foods. A low- sodium diet limits the amount of sodium in your diet to no more than 2 grams (2000 milligrams) a day. This is about half the amount of sodium in the average diet.
By not adding salt to foods, you can greatly reduce the amount of sodium in your diet. But sodium is also found in canned and prepared foods, even if they don't taste salty. Learn which foods to avoid by reading labels to find out how much sodium is in the foods.
Read labels carefully. Look for any form of sodium or salt, such as sodium benzoate or sodium citrate. Choose foods that have less salt.
Add very little or no salt to food that you prepare.
Check the sodium content when you use baking powder, baking soda, and monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Do not add salt to food at the table.
Fast foods are very high in salt, as are many other restaurant foods. When you eat at a restaurant, try steamed fish and vegetables or fresh salads. Avoid soups.
Avoid eating the following foods: ketchup, prepared mustard, pickles, and olives
soy sauce, steak or barbecue sauce, chili sauce, or Worcestershire sauce
bouillon cubes
commercially prepared or cured meats or fish (for example, bacon, luncheon meats, and canned sardines)
canned vegetables, soups, and other packaged convenience foods
salty cheeses and buttermilk
salted nuts and peanut butter
self-rising flour and biscuit mixes
salted crackers, chips, popcorn, and pretzels
commercial salad dressings
instant cooked cereals.

Answer 4

I read about this diet called the DASH diet. There are some great DASH recipes in this month's Cooking Light magazine. DASH stands for Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension. It has lots of low-fat, good-carb stuff, fruits, veggies, some protein, but basically, it's low-sodium and healthy, with a particular emphasis on certain vitamins and minerals and omega fatty acids and stuff like that. You might want to check into that diet. It's more about what you can eat, rather than what you can't eat.

Answer 5

This page on weight loss mentions that. Has latest info from American Heart Assoc.-- nobody knows this yet. Also click on page on fasting. At bottom it mentions book by an MD. With fasting and a change of diet almost everyone can permanently cure hypertension. Book covers this plus lots of recent medical research.
