DIET FOR HYPERTENSION (High Blood Pressure) - Low Sodium Diet This Diet is Low in Salt/Sodium (3-5 g), Low in Saturated Fats and Trans Fats. It Focuses on Fruits, Vegetables and Fiber. Hypertension: Hypertension is the condition of having high blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is 120/80, which is the systolic (maximum) blood pressure and diastolic (minimum) blood pressure. When systolic blood pressure is above 140mm Hg or when diastolic blood pressure is above 90mm Hg, blood pressure is considered high. Hypertension may be caused by a variety of reasons such as: heredity, your genes, high salt in your diet, not being active, obesity, excessive alcohol intake and/or low potassium in your diet. Tips To Help Reduce Your Blood Pressure 1. Decrease the amount of totalsalt (sodium or Na+) in your diet. See "Salt" on next page. 2. Eat high fiber foods such as whole and multigrain breads, cereals, pasta and brown rice; soluble fibers such as oat bran, psyllium and barley are great. Include a high fiber starch at every meal. 3. Eat lower glycemic index foods. These foods will help you lose weight, lower your "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and increase your "good" cholesterol (HDL). Internet sites: do a search for "glycemic index" or visit www.diabetes.ca. 4. Eat an abundance of fruits and vegetables; 2 vegetables at lunch and 2 vegetables at supper; eat 2-3 fruits everyday; eat fruit as a nutritious snack. Eating whole fruits is always better than juices. 5. Include fish, chicken, leaner meats, low-fat cheese and dairy, and alternate protein choices (beans, peas, lentils, nuts, eggs, tofu) along with milk or yogurt as part of your meal. 6. Make lower fat choices (such as skim milk or 1% milk, leaner cuts of meat and cheeses); use unsaturated fats such as olive/canola oils and non-hydrogenated margarine. Try not to fry your foods.
