Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is when the blood in the body has to pump blood harder than usual. When a person has this condition, they can suffer from symptoms like fatigue, migraines, and eventually heart failure.

Exercising is a natural way that causes the blood to spike but also helps the body burn off the excess salt and sugar by turning them into energy. However, not everyone has time to exercise, meaning your body is using excess sodium and sugar incorrectly. If you want to prevent getting high blood pressure, try and steer clear of the types of food mentioned in this list.
