high blood pressure
Controlling high blood pressure; along with reducing sodium, other measures should be taken to reduce blood pressure!
> The first thing that a person suffering from high blood pressure needs to consider is sodium intake. Sodium intake can be reduced by eliminating salt from food before and after it is cooked. Foods such as cheese, ketchup, deli meats and soft drinks have high levels of sodium. Most packaging on processed foods will show the amount of sodium per serving for the product. You might be surprised to learn how high in sodium some foods are. Even canned vegetables and canned fish should be rinsed with water before eating to get rid of the salt they are packed in.
> Another way to help control high blood pressure through diet is to reduce as much fat as possible from food. Try to eliminate butter, mayonnaise, cream, etc. and replace these with low-fat substitutes.
