3. Blood Pressure
If you have high blood pressure, then your doctor will likely recommend that you start to cut out salt as much as possible: Salt is well-known for being one of the primary causes of high blood pressure and can send your blood pressure skyrocketing if you have existing problems with your blood pressure. This is why people often have heart attacks after a large, rich, salt-filled meal.
Fasting can help your blood pressure to stabilize, though you should be careful to continuously monitor your blood pressure throughout the process: If your blood pressure goes too high or too low, then you could be putting yourself in danger and might need to make some adjustments.
Normal blood pressure should be 120 over 80; small variations in blood pressure measurements are normal, though too high or too low warrants seeing your doctor.
If you aren’t sure how to approach fasting with existing blood pressure issues, also consult your doctor for advice on how you can fast for your health.
