What are the foods to avoid for high blood pressure? My husband is suffering from high blood pressure. I am very thankful to you if you suggest list of foods which can bring blood pressure down. Which food doctors commonly suggest for high blood pressure patients?
You need to avoid any fat food, alcohol, salt, and potassium.1. Fat pork or beef (hot dogs, salami, fatback, bacon, ribs, etc)2. Bananas, beans, tofu, potatoes (because it rich sources of potassium)3. Fats and oils, like butter or margarine, some vegetable oils, lard, fatback, salt, pork, meat drippings, etc.
Blood pressure conditions are aggravated by excessive salt (sodium) intake. So the first thing to do is to control qty of salt in her diet…1 teaspoon of salt in a day is suggested as the limit for BP patients. Another substance to avoid is excessive alcohol because excessive alcohol in the bloodstream damages your blood vessels” walls thus increasing the blood pressure. At the same time, focus on foods to consume…I recommend going through the DASH diet which indicates quantity as well as the selection of foods for hypertension patients.
