Do you know your Blood Pressure?

To help avoid post prandial hypotension (a drop in blood pressure within two hours of eating) avoid consuming excess carbohydrates. Eat small meals often and avoid meals with large quantities of carbohydrates (bread, pasta, pastry). Low blood pressure can occur after meals when the circulation is needed to assist digestion, which can lead to a drop in blood pressure when standing up.
