15 foods to avoid for healthier blood pressure

Bread

True fact: Yeast breads (including rolls, bagels, flour tortillas and wraps) rank first as the food item that contributes the most sodium to American diets, according to the AHA. For some perspective, just one slice of Whole Foods’ Organic 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread contains the sodium equivalent of 22 potato chips. When shopping, look for loaves with 5% daily value (DV) or less for sodium. (A DV of 20% or more is high.)
