Chicken breast could be contributing to High Blood Pressure

If you or a loved one has High Blood Pressure this is a MUST READ:

Ever wonder why there is such a drastic price difference per pound for Chicken Breast?

They are adding broth, water solution, and other additives to the Chicken Breast. Which means you are paying for WATER WEIGHT.

1st Example: Rotisserie chicken has a whooping 18% water solution added to it. WOW, and that's not including the sodium in the other added seasoning! And not to mention you may add more salt once you get home and chop it up. YIKES!!! No wonder your so thirsty and swollen after you eat Rotisserie.




2nd Example: Tyson's (famous word) "All Natural*" chicken breast with an added 12% chicken broth PER 4OZ. Again this is before you seasoned or even cooked it!


Below I have copied the nutrition facts for raw chicken breast with added solution. It has a whopping 220mg of sodium again before you even cook it!!

Ok, now you're saying WTH.....What should I buy?

I'm Glad you asked=)

When buying Chicken breast you want to READ the Nutrition label. I have noticed that if it's fresh never frozen the sodium is minimal and normal for processing.

Here is a a Publix label, fresh, never frozen, chicken breast. On the label they state up to 1% water retained.

Notice the nutrition label below: Sodium 40mg per 4OZ.... PERFECT

Next time you go grocery shopping and there is chicken breast on sale. READ THE LABEL. Even if you have to get Organic and pay a few more dollars. Remember you are actually getting more meat for you money. Less water solution means the weight per lb is accurate and no skewed by added water!

Tip: if you can't lose weight and are always swollen this might of been the culprit. Spread the word and educate your friends and family=)
