Have a salad or a sandwich today with sliced avocado in place of cheese. The creamy texture will keep you satisfied, and avocados are rich in unsaturated fats—monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. When eaten in place of saturated fat–filled cheese, avocado can improve your odds of fending off heart disease.

I have had hypertension for over 40 years and have a tough time controlling it with the right medication and diet. Recently I had to go to the ER as my BP was 228/122 and they game me clonidine to lower it. I very rarely use salt and use sea salt instead. However, I also have a low sodium count. What do I do to equalize this situation?
And why would you think sea salt is not salt?
Annie, yes sea salt is salt, but without all the chemicals and iodine of table salt. I still don’t use a lot of it either. So am still baffled why my sodium level is so low, but my BP is so high.
Thanks for commenting.
I too have high blood pressure,mostly controlled by medicine, which is changing because of reaction to meds. And I also have low sodium.when I asked about it I was told that it is hyponeutremia, which tells me nothing because I can’t find any thing about it. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks!
here is some info from Mayo Clinic on hyponatremia – http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hyponatremia/DS00974
I always have heart desease it is hard for me to stopp it. An I don’t know how?
High carb dishes like oatmeal that raise triglycerides and small ldl particles are recommended?
