10 Foods to Avoid with High Blood Pressure
Food to Avoid with High Blood Pressure #4: Sugar
It is no secret that too much sugar is bad for us, no matter how much it might help to make food taste good. Refined sugar, in particular, is the worst type and the kind most often found in cooking. Candies and deserts, in particular, are high in sugar and many drinks also have a very high sugar content.
One of the biggest problems with sugar is that the body is unable to metabolize it in high quantities. This means it then gets stored as fat and this can lead to obesity. Obesity is a major cause of high blood pressure as well as a range of other potentially serious problems.
