High blood pressure, a health problem that many residents of Serbia have, can be a serious threat to health if it is not regulated.

What’s especially important to note is the fact that according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than half of people are unaware that they have high blood pressure, which can be very dangerous for health and cause kidney damage and even sudden death.

People who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure should reduce their salt intake, as well as their intake of foods that contain a lot of sodium.

Foods that are high in sodium are problematic because they cause water to drain from blood vessels and create excess blood, which increases or increases blood pressure.

The American Heart Association warns that these foods are “silent killers” or that they contain too much salt.

Muffins and Pretzels: One pretzel can contain up to 230 milligrams of sodium

Dry meat products: up to 2000 milligrams of sodium per 100 grams

Pizza: one slice can contain up to 760 milligrams of sodium

Prepared Chicken – Just 100 grams of prepared chicken breadsticks can contain 600 milligrams of sodium

Soup from a bag: One cup of soup from a bag can contain up to 940 milligrams of sodium

Fatty beef

Lamb

Pork

In addition to salt, excessive sugar intake is dangerous and increases blood pressure, regardless of whether the person is obese or has a healthy body weight. Therefore, people who have high blood pressure should avoid buying juices and sweet dairy products.

Foods that contain a lot of trans fat should also be on the “prohibited list” for those with high blood pressure, and in addition to fast food and sweets, popcorn and margarine should be avoided because of this ingredient.
