7 Foods to Avoid When You Have High Blood Pressure

 

Red Meat

Steak that is heavily salted is really not good. A healthy eating habit starts with eating in moderation. In particular, saturated fats and trans fats should be consumed as little as possible.

◆Ramen

One ramen packet contains 14 grams of fat and 1,580 milligrams of sodium. Ramen has too much sodium and is considered a major contributor to high blood pressure.

◆Alcohol

Alcohol raises blood pressure. Additionally, alcohol damages blood vessel walls and increases the risk of other diseases.

◆Bacon

Bacon contains too much fat. Three slices of bacon have 4.5 grams of fat and about 270 mg of sodium. It is advisable to reduce bacon consumption during breakfast or similar meals.

◆Donut

One donut contains approximately 300 calories and is composed of 42% fat and 54% carbohydrates. Additionally, because it is fried, it contains a large amount of saturated fat and trans fat. Donuts contain more fat than peanut butter, chocolate bars, or chips.

Exclusive Use

It is called whole milk, which refers to milk in its natural state without fat removal. Milk is a good food rich in calcium. However, high-fat dairy products like whole milk provide excessive amounts of fat beyond what is necessary. One cup of whole milk contains 8 grams of fat, of which 5 grams are saturated fat.

◆Pickle

Pickles, Western-style preserved vegetables made by adding various spices to vegetables or fruits, are a food enjoyed by Americans. However, these pickles contain too much salt. Three medium-sized cucumber pickles, about 9.5 cm in length, contain 2,355 mg of sodium, which is much more than the recommended daily intake of 2,300 mg.
