DASH Diet
Food that increase high blood pressure
Foods high in salt or added sugars — such as soda and caffeinated drinks, baked goods, and many packaged foods — can contribute to high blood pressure. Limiting or replacing these foods in the diet can help people manage or lower their blood pressure.
Maintaining a balanced diet can help people manage and prevent hypertension. A balanced diet may include plant-based foods, whole grains, and healthy fats.
