When it comes to blood pressure and maintaining healthy levels, there are many lifestyle changes you can make. The most popular advice is to limit your intake of salt.

Although minimizing salt is an effective means of controlling blood pressure, research suggests that if you want to control blood pressure quickly—as well as lose weight and improve cholesterol and liver function—the best thing to do is cut down on sugar. Although salt has long been singled out as a cause of unhealthy blood pressure, it turns out that sugar is even worse.

If you've been having difficulties maintaining healthy blood pressure, it may be time to examine your diet.
