This is critical in achieving normal blood pressure level. Speaking of foods that lower blood pressure, please remember that a salt free diet is truly essential for lowering blood pressure. Unfortunately, just lowering your salt intake is not good enough in majority of the cases. You need to strongly consider eliminating all salt from your diet. One way of doing this is to drop the table salt from your grocery shopping list altogether. Develop a new habit of reading all labels in detail. Avoid all foods that have “sodium” or the symbol “Na” on the label. Below are some examples of foods to avoid in high blood pressure: diet soft drinks all foods with mold inhibitors and preservatives most sugar substitutes soy sauce canned vegetables baking soda (people use baking soda for gout, DO NOT do this if you happen to have high blood pressure!) ready to eat, commercially prepared foods Place emphasis on the right foods, avoid all killer foods (the last paragraph above) and this alone will be a great first step in the right direction!
