7 Home Remedies For Managing High Blood Pressure

6) Put Down The Saltshaker.

Keeping your sodium intake to a minimum can be vital for lowering blood pressure.

The AHA recommends limiting your sodium intake to between 1,500 milligrams (mg) and 2,300 mg per day. That's a little over half a teaspoon of table salt.

Use herbs and spices to add flavor instead. Processed foods also tend to be loaded with sodium. Always read food labels and choose low-sodium alternatives when possible.
