I want to help my Dad lower his high blood pressure. Where can I find recipes that will help him lower his bp?

I really want to help my Dad lower his blood pressure. I know that he needs to avoid excess salt or anything that contains high salt content but he’s a single Dad now and he and my brother live alone and since he doesn’t ever have time to cook, he makes unhealthy food choices that are quick to prepare (mostly heat and eat stuff). These are usually really high sodium too which isn’t helping his condition so I want to help them out by preparing some healthy meals for them. Especially for helping my Dad get his blood pressure to a safe range. Can anyone please give me some recipes or a link that contains recipes that are healthy for someone who has high blood pressure? I really wanna help him / them.

High Blood Pressure! Need Healthy Recipes (No Salt! Please) …..?

May 19th, 2010

My Health

Here’s the deal. I’m a Fedex Express courier. I’m on road about 10 hours a day and I tend to eat whatever I find on road that’s cheap. (.99 chicken sandwiches)

I need to get away from that.

I’m told that processed foods have salt and other nasty goodies that are not good for me … deli meats/sandwiches and prepackaged stuff you can buy at 7-11.

I love sandwiches but I don’t eat cheese because I was told the cholesterol will clog my arteries. Ok … no more cheese …

I drink so much water I’m still bloated when I get home … but I also drink diet coke.

I take my medication but it doesn’t really help. My opinion of course.

Any ideas for taking a lunch on road with me? Something that hopefully doesn’t take a long time to cook/prepare?

Thanks and thumbs up to all who answer! Just give me time to get back and read the answers.

What are the easiest easiest recipes to control blood pressure?

April 26th, 2010

My Health

My dad’s doctor just recommended the DASH diet to control his blood pressure. He lives alone most of the time seeing i go to college out of state. I think the extent of his cooking skills are cereal and ham sandwiches which are not on the diet plan. What are some healthy cheap recipes to try to try out?
