I feel bad now when I eat good food in front of her because I know she wants to eat it too. Like she cooks me steak and stuff for myself while she just eats vegetables and I feel bad for her. Now she's losing ALOT of weight from not eating anything.
Yes she's taking medication for her high blood pressure.
Can't she still eat meat? Just not over-do it. Any suggestions?

Celery is excellent for lowering blood pressure. Fresh Garlic (chop it up and swallow it like small tablets) is also good. If your Mom can drink a glass of Pomegranate Juice or eat the fresh fruit every day, her B.P. will gradually come down. Salt is a villain. The bad guy is processed foods, as food processors replace tastiness with saltiness. Eating meat is no problem, but lean meat is best.
eat stuff that dosent have alot of salt in it, i used 2 have high blood presure, but i dont nymore cause i stopped eating salty foods
I have high blood pressure. I can still pretty much eat what I want, but I have to watch my sodium intake. I try not to go over 1750 mg a day. I also cook with spices and herbs more than with seasoning salts because they are loaded with MSGs. There are now more seasonings that are MSG free. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and try to avoid processed meats (loaded w/ sodium) and processed meals.
