Hypertension affects about 30% of adults worldwide. While most people try to cut back on salt to lower their pressure, a better strategy may be to add these healthy foods to the menu. Among dietary factors salt has taken the brunt of the blame. But sugar may be the real culprit in high blood pressure. One of the biggest problems is fructose in sodas.

And with every additional serving of the sugared drinks risk shot up 8.2 percent. https://www.activistpost.com/2023/08/19-foods-proven-to-lower-blood-pressure-2.html
