I see more and more instances of young people suffering from high blood pressure (B.P) these days. With all the stress of modern life, high B.P seems to set in at an early age, and should be a matter of grave concern. Excess sodium and salt intake is one of the main reasons for high B.P. Salt is an important ingredient, the lack of which can make a dish quite unpalatable. Using less or no salt in recipes may sound difficult, but you will be surprised to know that it is not. In our "High Blood Pressure Cookbook", we have measured and used the minimum amount of salt required to make a dish appetizing, however you can increase or decrease the salt according to the daily sodium limit prescribed for you. Also included is a comprehensive section on high blood pressure, the effect of excess salt, the role of sodium, and a list of foods allowed and avoided. Ranging from breakfast options, and soups and salads to rotis, subzis and desserts, additional bonus is the section on healthy, low-salt chutneys and pickles. While the recipes in this book are targeted at severe hypertensives, they will also help people experiencing the early stage of hypertension to prevent it from aggravating any further. So, resist the temptation to add extra salt to your food and keep your blood pressure down!
