10Fatty Foods
People with hypertension should avoid foods with trans fats and reduce the consumption of products containing saturated fats. These include butter, red meat, full-fat dairy, chicken skin, as well as prepared and packaged foods. Both trans fats and saturated fats can increase the level of bad LDL cholesterol, which eventually leads to coronary heart disease and high blood pressure. To reduce the risk, it is better to replace these fatty sources with plant-based fats, which can be found in avocado, olive oil, as well as many categories of seeds and nuts. [10]
