You may be able to lower your blood pressure and reduce the medications you need to control high blood pressure by adopting a few new eating habits, such as counting calories and watching portion sizes. This is how.

Watch what you eat!

Some people are unaware of how many calories they consume each day. They may underestimate their calorie intake and wonder why they can’t lose weight.

Writing down what you eat, including portion sizes, can help you see the truth about your food consumption. You can then begin reducing calories and portions in order to lose weight and manage your blood pressure.

Be mindful of your alcohol consumption as well. Alcohol can also raise your blood pressure.

Avoid using salt (Sodium).

Many people’s blood pressure is raised by a high-sodium diet. In fact, the less sodium you consume, the better your blood pressure control may be.

Try the following suggestions to reduce sodium in your diet:

Keep a food diary to track the amount of salt in the foods you eat.

Aim for less than 2,300 milligrams (approximately 1 teaspoon of salt) per day.

Read the nutritional information label on every food package.

Choose foods with 5% or less of the “Daily Value” of sodium.

Avoid foods that contain 20% or more of the Daily Value of sodium.

Avoid canned and processed foods, as well as lunch meats and fast foods.

Use seasonings that are low in sodium.

Understand What to Eat.

Fruits and vegetables are high in potassium, magnesium, fiber, and have a low sodium content. Consume only whole fruits and vegetables. Because the fiber is removed in juice, it is less beneficial. Magnesium is also found in nuts, seeds, legumes, lean meats, and poultry.
