The Top Foods to Avoid if You Have High Blood Pressure

8. Fried Foods

Pretty much any list of foods to eliminate to eat healthier will include fried foods. While they may be delicious, they often contain far too much oil, tons of sodium and high levels of saturated fats. Fried desserts are particularly bad as they have additional sugar on top of everything else. Due to the prevalence of fried foods in many diets, doctors recommend eliminating one high-risk food at a time and working down to eating these foods once or twice a week.
