🔎Today, we’re going to explore the 5 worst fruits for high blood pressure including a fruit you should be aware of if you’re taking ANY medication.
5. Canned fruit
Canned fruit is often packed in syrup, which is high in sugar and can lead to spikes in blood sugar levels. This can be especially problematic for people with diabetes or other conditions that affect blood sugar levels.
4. Ripe Bananas
Ripe bananas are high in sugar and can cause your blood pressure to spike.
Bananas are also high in potassium, which can be good for controlling high blood pressure as potassium dampens the impact of sodium. However, high-potassium foods can interfere with some blood pressure medication and heart medication, so talk to your doctor if need be.
3. Grapefruit
Grapefruit can interfere with the absorption of some medications, including statins and drugs given to people with high blood pressure and diabetes.
2. Some fruit Juices
When a fruit is juiced, it loses much of its fiber which could mean the sugar in juice is more quickly absorbed into your bloodstream, causing spikes in blood sugar levels.
1. Crystalized and Candied Fruit
Most candied or crystalized fruit contain a ton of added sugar or even worse, high fructose corn syrup.

431.9 -> tomato juice is another one that experts
