The AHA warns persons trying to reduce sodium intake that many seasonings may not be suitable alternatives because many contain plenty of sodium. Garlic and onion salts are also high in sodium and are not suitable alternatives to table salt. Be sure to check the ingredients, he said. Some products have high salt content, and high blood pressure patients should use them sparingly. These foods include pickles, cured meats, frozen snacks and dinners, salted snacks and canned soups. Check your local grocery store for a variety of d foods that are available. Moderate exercise, such as walking, can be an important asset in controlling and maintaining normal weight and, therefore, blood pressure. Before beginning an exercise program, visit your doctor to determine the most effective exercise and the proper intensity for you. Exercise can be dangerous for some people with high blood pressure, so it's important to follow your doctor's orders. Medicine may be prescribed for some cases of high blood pressure when other treatment methods haven't succeeded. "Lessening your chance of a stroke or heart ate control worth it," Dr. tack makes said. "An added advantage is that some inBarry surance companies will lower your insurance premium if you have reduced your blood pressure and have it under control," Dr. Barry said.
