Natural cereals are great for breakfast. It is when we get to those already processed and sugarfied cereals that are too high in everything that we should stay away from them; not to mention the cost of these cereals today.

Fruits and vegetables should be eaten with atleast 2 servings of each a day. Fresh of course; is the best but if not then frozen without the sauces will do just fine. Eating healthy will not only bring your blood pressure down, but will also provide your body with the vitamins and nutrients that it needs daily. Fruits are good anytime; especially if they are fresh. If you are on a food budget use a little jello or yogurt to make them go a little further.

Breads are the heart of any meal. After all, it was the first item requested in the Lord’s Prayer. But it can also put the weight on and allow the sugars and slats to affect our weight, blood pressure and our sugar intake. Eat low sodium high fiber breads and limit your bread intake to no more than three slices a day.

All of us know what a food label is. But do we read these labels I think not. If we did we wouldn’t have the high blood pressures problems we have today.

Reading food labels is very important to your high blood pressure. You should pay very close attention to the sodium count. Buy low sodium foods.
