Hypertension Diet

We have to change what do we eat during the time, especially in usage of salt. Cutting down on salt really does help you to reduce hypertension. One big change in your diet, which you can make, is to reduce your salt intake.

Reduce the consumption of processed foods which are high in salt such as:

• Processed Meat
• Breakfast Cereals
• Bread
• Salty snacks
• Cheese
• Pickled Foods
• Salted Nuts
• Smoked Foods

Potassium helps your body to be balanced against the negative aspects of salt is by consuming fruit and vegetables which are high in potassium, such as:

• Potatoes
• Citrus Fruits
• Bananas
• Tomatoes

If you have kidney disease, avoid high consumption of potassium.
