High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
For better blood pressure control, reduce your intake of sodium by taking into account not just added salt but also packaged foods and condiments. Check food labels!

Remember to discuss blood pressure measurements and goals with your primary care provider during your next office visit. Your heart health depends on it!
