Hypertension (high blood pressure ) affects 3 million people every year. As the Joint Commision decreases the diastolic blood pressure number every 2-3 years, the more individuals are diagnosed with high blood pressure. As there are many foods that can decrease blood pressure, there are many foods that can increase blood pressure.
The following increase blood pressure
1.Packaged Poultry
2. Canned Soup
3. Packaged Chese

5. Cured meats
6. Hot Dogs
Basically try to avoid excessive sodium. I would look at nutrition labels . You should eat less than 1500 milligrams/day. One of the diets promoted by the National Heart and Lung Institute to lower blood pressure is the DASH diet. It emphasizes fruits, and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and low fat dairy to lower blood pressure. I feel a dietary change should be individualized based on food allergies ( Ig G )as well as other blood tests
