The most common cause of high blood pressure is excess weight. Limit fat and salt intake and lose a few pounds if possible.

black people were raised on all of the fatty parts of meat because they couldn't afford the lean. the fat is what causes high blood pressure. if you can, try to stay away from all fatty meats, especially pork.
