What Fruits And Vegetables Should Be Avoided To Control High Blood Pressure?

Hello...I received a fruit and veggie emulsifier/blender as a gift and I'm anxious to start using it. I take 40 mg of lisinopril and 10 mg of amlodipine daily to control my blood pressure. Are there any fruits and veggies that I should avoid to prevent drug interaction?

hello thanx for using hcm
Dear fruits and vegetables are heart friendly ,unless you dont add sugars to them.you can consume 4-5 servings of fresh vegetables and fruits.All are safe for you.
In case of high blood pressure you have to avoid salt and all sources of sodium like canned foods, processed foods, chips, sauces,bakery products which tend to increase your hypertension.
Restrict consumption of fats in your diet.
Never take juice or fruit with your medicine.Always take medicine with water.After half an hour you can have any thing.
