I'm thinking what i can eat this morning. I had elevated blood pressure yesterday morning. It was like 160/100. But went down to 140/90 after an hour. Although that's still high. So i need to watch what I'm eating. I'm not able to manage my blood pressure well. I'm thinking of doing water fasting but i don't feel like it today doing it. I still want to eat something not because i'm hungry but because i just like the taste of food. Hopefully i would be able to control myself and my hunger. Today morning and i need to get better compared to yesterday and i have to take my blood pressure and check out the way it is today. I'm crossing my fingers that i will be able to bring it down on the very good level and keep it it in healthy level for a long time.
You can recommend anything any delicious foods that will not raise my blood pressure please give me some ideas but please make sure it would be delicious

@LadyDuck maybe it does not take effect that fast. And it is quite expensive to buy dark chocolate to continue or maintain a healthy habit

@hotsummer May be you eat something with the dark chocolate that makes your pressure rise, may be a glass of milk, or even worse a canned soda.

It just means drink a lot of water and nothing besides that. Maybe for a day or two. Well i think it will cause you to excrete all the sodium in your body or most of it. But the problem for me is i still don't want to go hungry for now.

@hereandthere i don't know for sure but that's what others say also. I don't usually do that as it's not that easy to buy fresh pineapple and juice it. It's a lot of work for me. Yesterday and today i didn't eat meat just vegetable but still my blood pressure isn't in normal level yet. Maybe i have to cut down even on vegetables.

i like bitter gourd and also i like garlic. I used to eat 1 teaspoon of garlic per day mixed with honey but the problem is it gives a bad smell on my breath.

@hotsummer I think we can just have mouthwash after eating it.
