| Bananas in excess can be constipating. Avoiding sodium is also important in controlling high BP. That means becoming familiar with how much sodium there is in food -- it appears in foods you would not expect because they do not taste salty. Read labels for salt content, especially canned soups, except those intentionally low in sodium. The goal it to try to stay below 3,000 milligrams of sodium per day. Calcium can also lower blood pressure, and is good for preventing osteoporosis. But it can be constipating, so you need to experiment with the dose you take and the time of day you take the dose. |
