5 sauces that hypertensives should avoid

High blood pressure is a predictor of heart attacks and strokes, therefore, it is very important to keep it under control.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is often called the “silent killer” because it increases the risk of serious health problems without warning. High blood pressure makes your heart work harder to pump blood around your body, and this extra effort can lead to a heart attack. And what you eat can play a crucial role in this process.

From chicken to vegetable sauce, sauce not only adds extra flavor to your food, but also adds salt. Since salt is considered the “most serious cause” of high blood pressure, adding this flavoring to food can lower its levels.

99 percent of all sauces get a yellow or red traffic light for high blood pressure because of their salt content. That's why I recommend avoiding ready-made sauces because of their high salt content.

For every gram of reduction in salt intake, we can prevent thousands of heart attacks, strokes and heart failures, half of which would be fatal.

The most dangerous sauces for hypertensives:

• Soy sauce
• Teriaki sauce
• Ketchup
• Mayonnaise
• “A thousand islands”
