The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, DASH, is one of the effective ways to lower, prevent and cure hypertension or high blood pressure as foods are the common causatives and triggers if hypertension.
The DASH diet aids in regulating blood pressure by including heart and immune friendly foods while excluding unhealthy foods associated with a higher risk of hypertension. It’s a highly flexible eating plan that entails consuming foods high in important minerals like calcium, zinc, magnesium and potassium for easy blood pressure regulation. The diet cuts out consumption of hypertension triggering foods especially those containing excess sodium, sugars and unhealthy fats. Significant results can be noted after 2 to 4 weeks of following the DASH diet.
Limiting your intake of processed foods, saturated fats, sodium foods and replacing them with healthy options like fruits, veggies, nuts, wholegrains is the key to preventing hypertension. To benefit more from the DASH diet in treating or avoiding high blood pressure, I recommend you eat more foods high in proteins, calcium, zinc, fiber, magnesium and potassium.
