Hypertension requires a special diet, avoiding mainly sodium intake or salt, given that the canned or preserved contain a large amount of salt. On the other hand, consuming potassium is very beneficial as this mineral helps to counteract the negative effects of high blood pressure. Bananas, raw vegetables, yeast, cocoa, grains, etc. should be included as food rich in calcium and magnesium like almonds, vegetables, vegetable milk, etc.
If you need to watch your hypertensive weight, it is recommended to eliminate or minimize foods containing white sugar and derivatives, as well as animal fats (especially meats and dairy).
Here are some recipes that contribute to the welfare of people with hypertension.

My father has problems of the heart and he needs seriously a change in his diet, I?m thinking on sending him this article but I?m sure he?s going to just ignore it so maybe it would be a better idea if I surprise him preparing one of this dishes and telling him it is for his health, I hope this works
Lia

Thanks for the great recipes. I’m not hypertensive, but these recipes do look pretty good, and my mother-in-law does take blood pressure medication, so maybe we can have some of these recipes for a few family dinners. I’m glad that you’re addressing how to control this with your diet, because so many people just try to take medication to mask it.
