This video covers over 20 of the worst foods and ingredients for high blood pressure and heart disease.

If you don’t start reducing these foods, your blood pressure will continue to go up. Then you'll need more meds, and higher doses. 

Those medications come with side effects like stomach problems, feeling lightheaded, and headaches. 

To lower your risk for these side effects and heart disease, reduce these foods in your diet.
