Hi,
Hypertensive patients must have very limited salt intake and they must avoid oily & fried foods because salt retains water and it will lead to further increase in blood pressure and oily & junk foods will cause weight gain and cardiac problems in them.
I hope my answer will satisfy you.

Dr. Maria Daud
