10 Foods That Cause High Blood Pressure
High Blood Pressure Causing Food #2: Frozen Pizza
Frozen pizza is one of the most iconic foods in the Western world, especially in the United States. In 2016, the global frozen pizza market was estimated to be $11.1 billion. By 2023, projections show that this market will grow to $17.2 billion.
Frozen pizzas can be a poor choice for those who are at risk of high blood pressure as they may have a high sodium content. The combination of cheese, processed meats, tomato sauce, and crust can lead to high levels of sodium. Frozen pizza manufacturers often add a lot of salt to maintain the flavor of pizzas. For example, a serving of pizza with meat and cheese can contain more than 700 mg of sodium.
