If you have hypertension, it is important to avoid foods that are high in sodium and saturated fat. Here are some examples of foods to avoid for hypertension:

Processed and packaged foods, such as chips, crackers, and frozen meals
Fast food and fried foods, such as French fries, fried chicken, and fried fish
Cured meats and deli meats, such as bacon, sausage, and ham
Cheese and other dairy products that are high in saturated fat
Snack foods, such as popcorn and pretzels, that are high in sodium
Canned foods, such as soups and vegetables, that are high in sodium
Sauces and condiments, such as ketchup, barbecue sauce, and salad dressing, that are high in sodium
Sugary drinks, such as soda and sweetened tea or coffee
Instead, it is recommended to eat a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods that are low in sodium and saturated fat. This includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein sources such as chicken and fish, and low-fat dairy products. It is also important to limit alcohol intake and to maintain a healthy weight. It is always recommended to speak with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations for hypertension.
