Blood pressure questions

How much sodium should I have a day?

Imi uses 2,300 mg a day, the limit in the Dietary Guidelines, or 2,000 mg if you choose the steadier pace.

Where is all the salt coming from?

Most sodium comes from packaged and restaurant food, not the salt shaker. Imi shows sodium for every meal, so the big ones stand out.

Should I eat more potassium?

Potassium-rich food is part of DASH-style eating, but some blood pressure medicines raise potassium. So Imi only plans extra potassium when you tell it you take no blood pressure medicine.

Isn't low-sodium food bland?

It doesn't have to be. Ask Imi to remake a recipe lower in sodium and it brings in acid, herbs, spice and low-sodium versions, rather than just taking the salt out.

Is this the DASH diet?

Imi isn't a branded diet, but its rules follow the same ideas as DASH: less sodium, more vegetables, fruit and whole grains, and potassium where it's right for you.

Sources: FDA: Sodium in your diet · WHO guideline: Potassium intake for adults and children (2012)

Do I need a blood pressure monitor?

No. If you have one that writes to Apple Health, Imi shows readings next to your meals. Without one, sodium tracking works on its own.

Will Imi tell me if my blood pressure is high?

No. Imi shows readings next to your meals and never labels them. What a reading means is a conversation for your care team.

Often paired with heart health, losing weight and blood sugar. Focuses stack.

Imi is a food and wellness app, not a medical device. A balanced, lower-sodium diet may help you live well with high blood pressure. Imi never changes medication or tells you what a reading means.
