Tip of the Week:
Shake lightly! If you have hypertension or high
blood pressure, you may have been warned about eating too much sodium. For some,
limiting sodium or salt helps control blood pressure. High
blood pressure can put more stress on the heart, blood vessels, and
kidneys. Consider these tips to limit sodium in your diet.
- Choose fresh or frozen vegetables over canned.
- Select reduced sodium canned foods such as soups, tomatoes,
and beans.
- Look for reduced sodium cheeses.
- Experiment with herbs and spices
instead of salting food.
- Taste food at the table prior adding salt and
remember that a little salt goes a long way.
Blood pressure can be reduced by eating healthy, losing weight, and
being physically active.

A quick workout is better than no workout at all.
