High blood pressure is

many people with high

High blood pressure is
twice as common among
people who are overweight.
In addition, the sodium
content in salt seems to
contribute to high blood
pressure. Some people can
help control their blood
pressure by losing weight
and keeping it off, as well
as reducing the amount of
salt they eat. Health pro

foods, are often high in

tions, particularly ant
acids, cough medicine, and
laxatives are also high in

Salt is an acquired taste
that is very habit forming.
To eliminate salt as a
seasoning try using lemon
juice, fresh and dried
herbs, and spices like cur

substitute.
Nutritionists recom

avoiding salty snacks.
Good eating habits are as

can be controlled. Have
your blood pressure
checked regularly. This
can be done at county

a doctor to keep it under
medical control.
