Recipe News: Recipes help reduce high blood pressure

"After you hit the age of 55, you're at 90 percent risk of having high blood pressure.

That's a bit of trivia Alabama Cooperative Extension Service agent Cheryl Vasse offered during the EatWell class on May 31. Vasse encouraged people to begin reducing their salt intake even before being diagnosed with high blood pressure.

"You just get used to not having all that salt," she said. Vasse suggested substituting herbs, vinegars or lemon juice to add flavor to food.

Recipes at this month's EatWell classes focus on cooking to reduce or prevent high blood pressure. The classes, which are held at Cullman Regional Medical Center's LifeFirst Imaging and Oncology, meet at 10 a.m. the first and third Wednesdays of each month."

Includes recipes for:
