Canned Beans
Like so many other “bad foods” on this list, canned beans are full of preservatives and guess who…sodium- both of which are ingredients known to increase blood pressure. We would just ask you to stay away from these, but if you can’t, be sure to rinse them out thoroughly in water to try to remove some of the salt in them. Or you can just enjoy them fresh and savor the taste in a less salt-rich environment.
