Hi There

Just came back from the doctor got my blood pressured checked it went to 140-113. he put me on tablets he told me to walk everyday , and don't have any fruit..i said to him even having a fruit puts on ya weight?..

Is that true? plus i got my periods heavy bleeding you think that the blood pressure goes up just by having it?

And also would like to know whats the good healthy diet for blood pressure?

hi lily, i did some research but found out it is very important to increase fruit in your diet when trying to lower your blood pressure.here are some tips for a healthy diet for you.



Choose 4-5 servings of fresh fruit and 4-5 servings of vegetables daily.
Grab a banana or fresh orange for a snack.
Add sliced tomatoes to sandwiches and salads or canned tomatoes to soups and sauces.
Toss sliced bananas, peaches or raisins in your dry cereal at breakfast.
Drink a glass of skim or 1% milk a few hours prior to bedtime. It will increase the calcium in your diet, and may improve your sleep. Optimally, try to have 3 dairy servings daily.
Grab a carton of yogurt for a treat instead of a slice of cake or a candy bar.
Add dried beans such as garbanzo or kidney to your soup or salad.
Cook without salt and don't add salt to your foods at the table.
Try fresh herbs or garlic in meats, soups, sauces, potatoes and other foods.
