I know I should shy away from salt, and I believe that means processed and canned foods too, correct? I was just recently diagnosed with hypertension (could be postpartum, so we are watching it closely and I am on Benicar HCT) and want to do all I can to reduce my BP. Thanks!

      Eat fewer fried foods.
      Eat more lean meat.
      Eat more vegetables.
      Drink less caffeinated beverages and drink more water instead.

      Controlling portion sizes will also make a difference.

      There is no magic diet that will help. Eat sensibly, exercise, and follow your doctors orders.
