   im sorry to inform you but the reason why you are on the blood pressure meds is because of the fast food….

   you have to realize all the high cholesterol content in fast food…. the sodium alone is astronomical and the calorie content…

   look at a big mac for example…the calories for one is 509 cal and from fat is 306 so basical 60% of a big mac is fat and the sodium alone is 1070 mg..

   i’m sure just alone the LDL (bad cholesterol) is more than the HDL (good cholesterol)….

   i would seriously back off on the fast food all together you don’t want to be stuck on those pills forever…check out this website gives a sample nutrition fact…i didn’t know all of that stuff by heart about the big mac lol….check it out and you can probably look up other stuff as well on the same site….

   i hope this helps a little bit….

   If you are blood pressure medicine greasy is out of the questions. All greasy food makes your blood pressure goes up. Alcoholic beverages is a no no!

   Fast food is extremely high in fat and salt.

   You can eat what ever you want. But all that salt will keep your blood pressure up – so decide what it is you want in life. Job?? pig out on fast foods??

   Yes, for the most part. Fast food contains a lot of sodium which will raise your blood pressure. You only have 7 days, I think you can do a week of eating healthy.

   I know for a fact blood pressure can be elevated by fast food, but if not why risk it?

   Trans fats which are commonly found in fast food have been shown in many tests to have a negative health effect on the body.
