WHAT LOW SALT CHIPS ATE GOOD FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?

Q: What low salt chips are good to eat if you have high blood pressure?

A: Chips are not on my list of acceptable foods and they should not be on yours.It’s not just the salt in the chips. IT’S THE FAT! You must get off that high fat diet. Too much fat clogs up your arteries and increases your blood pressure. Read Dr. Fuhrman’s book, Eat To Live and get off the SAD [standard american diet]. Then you won’t have high blood pressure.From the book:”I encourage my patients to do what it takes to normalize their blood pressure so they do not require medication. Prescribing medication for high blood pressure has the effect of a permission slip. Medication has a minimal effect in reducing heart attack occurrence in patients with high blood pressure because it does not remove the underlying problem (atherosclerosis), it just treats the symptoms. Patients given medication now falsely believe they are protected., and they continue to follow the same disease-causing lifestyle that caused the problem to begin with, until the inevitable occurs — their first heart attack or stroke. Maybe if high blood pressure medications were never invented, doctors would have been forced to teach healthful living and nutritional disease causation to their patients. It is possible that many more lives could have been saved.” — page 157 of the book
