If you Have Hypertension – Stray from Sodium … Why?

If you have Hypertension, or if you’re blood Pressure is above 140/90 you are considered to have elevated Blood pressure.

In that case one no cost thing you can do, is outlined in this post.

This post is about You and Salt, it is about how salt affects your Blood Pressure.

The recommendation in this post is as follows:

If you have High Blood Pressure/Hypertension, it is a smart idea to kick the Salt Habit.

You can do this by gradually decreasing the salt you add to food.

Also consider preparing meals yourself, whenever possible, rather than always or Often eating out or always or ordering in.

This will allow you better control of your Salt intake and  blood pressure, as salt usually exacerbates the Hypertension problem if you already have High Blood Pressure..

There is usually more salt in ready - made foods, or foods prepared outside the home.
If you are serious about your Blood Pressure, and want to be more safe than sorry, I highly recommend, the small efforts mentioned above to avoid Hypertension and improve Blood Pressure.

Straying from Sodium (Salt) will go a long way to better Health & Blood Pressure, and help your Body not retain excess water.
