I am 28 yrs old, I was just told my blood pressure is running high 144/88. So I want to start watching my sodium intake but I'm not sure how much is too much. I wanted to put bbq sauce on my baked chicken but it said there is 300mg in two tbsp of it. Which seems like a lot. How much is a good daily intake of sodium for someone with elevated blood pressure?
The blood pressure is a little high.
Yes, because a systolic blood pressure of more than 140 or diastolic pressure of more than 90 or both over 140/90 is high blood pressure.
