Honey with High Blood Pressure

Status: Allowed

Honey is classified as well tolerated for High Blood Pressure based on current dietary assessments. Cold cuts, cheese and spreads are often high in fat and salt while also providing protein and – in cheese – calcium. With high blood pressure, sodium intake through salt is a key consideration; potassium, magnesium and certain fatty acids also feature in dietary assessments. The reasoning given is: high in sugar, but low in sodium, sparingly use. The assessment is based on conservative experience-based assessments.
