5. Reduce Your Intake of Sodium
Likewise, you should try to limit your intake of sodium as mentioned. Sodium causes us to retain fluids and this can cause us to become puffy and swollen – not ideal for dealing with pulmonary hypertension. It also negatively affects our balance of electrolytes.
To reduce your salt, look for items in your local store that are labelled as low in salt. Likewise, avoid adding table salt to your food and stay away from smoked, cured and salted meat products.
Most importantly of all: avoid foods that are high in sodium.
