#BPraisers: Things That Raise Your Blood Pressure 

Updated:Dec 1,2015

Keeping blood pressure under control can mean adding things to your life, like exercise, that help lower it. It can also mean avoiding things that raise it. Here is a list of BP raisers, and information on how to keep your pressure from getting too high.

SALT
The American Heart Association recommends consuming less than 1500 mg of sodium a day.
DECONGESTANTS
People with high blood pressure should be aware that the use of decongestants may raise blood pressure. Many over-the-counter cold and flu preparations contain decongestants.
ALCOHOL
If you drink, limit your consumption to no more than two drinks per day for men and no more than one drink per day for women
HOT TUBS & SAUNAS
People with high blood pressure should not move back and forth between cold water and hot tubs or saunas. This could cause an increase in blood pressure
WEIGHT GAIN
Did you know you may experience health benefits from losing as few as 10 pounds?
SITTING
Just a few minutes of light activity for people who sit most of the day can lower blood pressure in those with Type 2 diabetes.
