The authors recommend the American Heart Association’s guidelines for cardiovascular health and the dietary management of hypertension. These guidelines endorse foods and approaches to diet similar to those included in the DASH diet and cite intake of 65 mmol, or 1.5 g, of sodium per day as optimal. In addition, a target BMI of less than 25 is recommended. Finally, the guidelines recommend no more than two alcoholic drinks per day for men and one for women and people of lighter weight.

If you have high blood pressure (hypertension), it's best to eat meals low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
This is, of course, good dietary advice for everyone, regardless of blood pressure. For people with high blood pressure, the main thing to watch out for is salt. Too much salt or sodium can cause your body to retain fluid, which increases blood pressure.
An important part of a high blood pressure treatment plan is to stick to a healthy diet, including limiting sodium intake. The 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day. (1)
People with hypertension may need to restrict sodium intake even more. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for adults with high blood pressure. (2)
To stay on track, choose low-sodium and no-added-salt foods and seasonings, and read nutrition facts labels carefully to determine the amount of sodium added to packaged and processed foods. You may also want to try a heart-healthy diet, such as the DASH diet or the Mediterranean diet.
