Major risk factor for heart disease and stroke is high blood pressure

Major risk factor for heart disease and stroke is high blood pressure. Although genetics and stress contribute significantly, our daily diet plays an important role in controlling blood pressure. Like weight control, the diet is responsible for about 70 percent. What we eat has a profound impact on our heart. Surprisingly, we take a lot of daily meals without worrying a second time that can gradually raise blood pressure in silence. Controlling blood pressure does not mean completely eliminating those foods. Main thing is moderation.

At some of the foods that can increase our blood pressure.

Sugary Drinks: Soft drinks and extra sugary juices are guilty. In addition to contributing to weight gain and insulin resistance, both contribute to the increase in blood pressure.

Instant Noodles:. A packet of instant noodles contains more than half of the recommended salt consumption per day. According to the WHO, the amount of sodium in every 100 grams or 100ml of products should be referred to as milligrams (mg).

Processed Meat: Processed meats are usually stored with salt and other additives, causing it to become a major cause of high blood pressure. It contains nitrate and other preservatives, which can affect the health of the blood vessels.

Cheese: ​Caliph is rich in protein. It is one of the favorite foods of almost all ages. However, there may be more sodium in the cheese. Eating the cheese can increase blood pressure.

Bread and bakery products: It may surprising but bread and all bakery products are one of the top hidden sources of sodium. If possible to eat it safely, choose the hole grain bread or make it at home. You can then control the amount of salt.
