Common questions

Is Indian food good for high blood pressure?

The DASH eating plan recommends limiting sodium to 1,500mg per day (roughly 500mg per meal). Indian cooking can fit within DASH limits when you know the sodium per serving. MedMenu shows that for every recipe.

How much sodium per meal with high blood pressure?

The DASH plan targets 1,500mg per day — about 500mg per meal. The AHA sets an upper limit at 2,300mg/day. Every MedMenu recipe shows sodium per serving against these limits.

Which Indian dishes are lowest in sodium?

Dishes built around fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices (rather than cured meats, soy sauce, or cheese) tend to be lowest. MedMenu shows exact sodium per serving so you can compare before choosing.

What nutrients help lower blood pressure?

The DASH diet emphasizes potassium (4,700mg/day), magnesium (500mg/day), and calcium (1,250mg/day) alongside low sodium. These minerals help relax blood vessels. MedMenu tracks all of these per serving.
