In Eatthis.com, the famous blog on diets, Laura Burak MS, RD, the Founder of GetNaked® Nutrition and author of Slimdown with Smoothies states that foods with high sodium content are one of the major contributors to increased blood pressure:
“One of the most common dietary habits when it comes to possibly increasing your blood pressure is consuming a diet high in sodium,” says Burak. “Which surprisingly, doesn’t come from the salt shaker but rather from processed, packaged foods like deli meats, smoked and canned foods, and snack foods like chips and dips.”
According to Burak, the American diet is laden with these salty foods, and some people can be more sensitive to them. Now you know foods that raise blood pressure, so you can change your diet habits and stay healthy.
