Doctors Warn: These 3 Foods Nigerians Eat Daily Are Slowly Causing High Blood Pressure

A new health report reaching NewsVista reveals that high blood pressure is no longer an “old people’s problem” — more young Nigerians under 35 are being diagnosed every day.

What’s behind it?
Common foods we eat daily without thinking twice.

Here are 3 everyday items silently pushing your blood pressure higher:

1. Instant Noodles (Especially With the Seasoning)
Noodles like Indomie may be tasty and quick — but the seasoning is loaded with sodium and MSG, both of which spike blood pressure and strain your heart.
👉 Tip: Ditch the sachet. Use natural spices and add veggies or eggs instead.

2. Fried Snacks & Street Food (Puff-Puff, Akara, Fried Meat)
These are often fried in reused, dark oil full of trans fats and hidden salt.
Regular consumption leads to clogged arteries, weight gain, and high BP.
👉 Tip: Bake or air-fry. Avoid meat fried in roadside oil.

3. Sugary Drinks (Coke, LaCasera, Fanta, Over-sweet Zobo)
They taste good — but spike both blood sugar and pressure at once.
They overload the kidneys and heart without offering any nutrition.
👉 Tip: Choose water, coconut water, or unsweetened smoothies.

Doctors Warn:
“By the time symptoms show up — like headaches, chest heaviness, or dizziness — the damage is already advanced.”

NewsVista Final Word:
High blood pressure kills quietly — but it’s preventable.
👉 Eat smart now. Live longer.
