We call it the “silent killer”. It’s one of the most preventable diseases, yet since 28% of Americans don’t know they have it, it is left to fester into larger, life-threatening problems. We’re talking about high blood pressure. According to a report by the American Heart Association, 1 out of every 3 adults in the US is diagnosed with it.
As we said, it’s super easily preventable – all by simply altering your diet. Unfortunately, by altering your diet, they mean cutting out all the good weekend stuff. Here’s 5 foods to cut out to avoid your blood pressure spiking through the roof:
- Red meat
- Alcohol
- Bacon
- Donuts
- Pickles
That all just sounds like a really good night out.

If you or someone you know suffers from high blood pressure, you can get the Braun BP6000 Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor for under a grand (currently got R150 off so only R749)
So, when cutting out that juicy Texan steak or bacon brekkie, but have the occasional pickle or two, you don’t need to spend hundreds of unnecessary monies for check ups at doctor.
