If you do not take care of it in time, from regular checkups to a healthy lifestyle, high blood pressure causes many other serious problems.
High blood pressure usually goes undetected because there are no visible warning signs and symptoms, thus, it is often called the silent killer.
And if someone suffers from high blood pressure, in extreme cases, medication must be taken to control it, but you can reduce the risks of reaching this stage by reducing your intake of this nutrient, according to the “timesofindia” website.
– the food
Do not take more than a teaspoon of salt per day to help lower your blood pressure reading and better absorb the medicine.
– Treating high blood pressure
High blood pressure can be controlled by reducing sodium intake. It is suggested to consume two thirds of a teaspoon of salt per day, and to eat plenty of vegetables in set meals.
Normal reading for high blood pressure
A normal blood pressure reading is 120/80 mmHg, and blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg is considered high blood pressure.
