Six Fast Food Breakfasts To Avoid With Hypertension

Eat This, Not That!, the popular food blog, published a review of six fast food breakfasts to avoid if you have high blood pressure. In her review, Sarah Garone, NDTR, a registered nutrition and dietetic technician, concludes that sacrificing healthy eating for convenience can be risky

She writes: “Perhaps your doctor has advised you to be more mindful of your blood pressure, or you were officially diagnosed with hypertension. Either way, if you’re prone to high blood pressure, choosing menu items high in sodium, saturated fat, and added sugars will only exacerbate the problem by creating excess pressure within your arteries.”

She picked the following to avoid:

1. Carl’s Jr. Monster Biscuit
2. The Egg-Normous Burrito from Burger King
3. The Double Sausage Breakfast Sandwich from Dunkin’
4. The Gravy Breakfast Bowl from Dairy Queen
5. The Grilled Cheese Breakfast Sandwich With Sausage from Carl’s Jr.
6. The Big Breakfast With Hotcakes from McDonald’s
