A member asked:

My partner has high blood pressure and he has a monitor, is there any foods that cause high blood pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Salt: Salt is the main dietary culprit for high blood pressure. Remember that dietary sodium is not just the table salt that you shake on your food, but most processed foods have a lot of sodium added. Check labels for sodium content, especially foods like canned soups, pasta sauces, chips and snack foods, and processed meat.
