10 Foods to Avoid with High Blood Pressure
Food to Avoid with High Blood Pressure #7: Pickles
While many people choose to remove the pickles from their burgers, many more welcome them. Pickles aren’t only for burgers either and can be used as accompaniments or as ingredients in other dishes. They also come in a range of varieties but, unfortunately, they are not without their drawbacks.
Pickling is a method of preservation, which often involves a lot of salt. As such, pickles tend to have a very high sodium content, meaning that you should keep well clear if you are trying to keep your blood pressure down. Where you can, try to look for fresh fruit and vegetable alternatives instead.
