- No salt
Salt increases blood pressure as it makes the body retain water. This has the adverse effect on the heart, kidney, and brain. So reduce or avoid intake of salt.

If you love drinking red wine then you should have it in the limited amount. Increased consumption of red wine would not benefit your body but would definitely have an adverse effect.
- Aerated drinks
