Pickles
The calories are low calories, good but loaded with sodium. One medium pickle (about 5 inches long) can contain 570mg of sodium. That is more than 1/3 of your sodium 2300mg daily dose.
Canned Chicken Noodle Soup
Canned Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken noodle soup is often regarded as a delicacy, but it is not so comforting to know that it can reach up to 880mg of sodium in a serving cup.
Sauerkraut
It’s low calorie and a great way to add vegetables to bratwurst, isn’t it? No. Half a cup can contain up to 13 calories, but it also contains more than 460mg of sodium.
Fast Food French Fries
While many fast food chains now fry their toads in free trans fats, not all. No matter, French fries provide a large amount of oil and sodium. The medium supply of fries contains 19grams of fat and 270mg of sodium.
Whole Milk
Milk is a great source of calcium, but a high-fat milk source, like whole milk, provides more fat than you need. One cup of whole milk gives 8 grams of fat, 5 of which are full.
Donuts
Donuts
Donuts may be popular, but they are definitely not good for health and body. Only one donor out of 200 calories with 12 grams of fat rises.
Sugar
High-calorie and high-sugar foods cause you to gain weight. Obesity is an important determinant of high blood pressure. Excess weight puts more strain on the heart and reduces blood flow.
Alcohol
Alcohol use causes high blood pressure. It also damages the walls of blood vessels, while at the same time increasing the risk of other complications.
