...continued to eat bad, processed food all the time (which is full of sodium), despite having high blood pressure?

I'm concerned because heart problems and hypertension run in my family and this family member, my MOM, has high blood pressure. I'm not sure if she doesn't understand or just doesn't care that this stuff is majority of the reason she has high blood pressure...

Let her know that you are concerned.

@Byron8by7 I've done it before though. doesn't seem to care. everyting she buys is in a box. She loves telling people " I [she] don't cook, I don't like cooking". But you need to, processed junk isn't good.

@iamnikki That's a tough one. Do you live near her? Could you meet her for a serious talk, sort of like an "intervention?" Offer her some alternatives. There are many types of healthier processed lower sodium / lower fat foods. This is out of my league. I have cooked from scratch for decades, and I am careful about my diet, for the most part.
