It is also inadvisable to use dressing and croutons, as both of these will contain salt which is a highly avoidable thing for a person with high blood pressure problems. Increase your intake of green vegetables such as cabbage, celery, spinach and generally all other leafy greens. This will help you to control your blood pressure as well. Fish is also considered to be very helpful in people who are suffering from high blood pressure. However, you must avoid shrimp, as this is very high in cholesterol. Most other types of fish would serve to help improve your health. Try to make these changes permanent, and you will be able to keep your problem under control.
