Take Action!
Eat healthy.
Changing your diet, especially by eating less sodium (salt), can lower your blood pressure. Look for foods that say “low sodium” or “no salt added.”
Check the Nutrition Facts Label for the percent Daily Value (DV) of sodium. Choose foods with a DV of sodium of 5% or less. Foods with a DV of 20% or more are high in sodium.
Eating potassium can also help lower your blood pressure. Good sources of potassium include potatoes, cantaloupe, bananas, beans, and yogurt.
