1) What are your thoughts about the study/findings?
I think people should change their diet by eating foods that lower sodium in the body or reducing salt intake to stay away from the risk of high blood pressure.
2) Could you provide more information about what the DASH diet involves (e.g. eating certain foods)?
It involves meals loaded with magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which are nutrients that help regulate blood pressure. The diet restricts foods having saturated fats, extra sugars, and sodium.
3) How does the DASH diet help with hypertension/blood pressure/heart attacks/stroke?
It helps lower sodium content in blood to levels not beyond 2300 mg every day. The diet even works more wonders on reducing the risk of hypertension when it lowers sodium amounts to 1500 mg per day. Furthermore, it helps reduce body weight, thus lowering the risk of stroke and heart attack.
4) Is there anything else you’d like to add? Please provide your name, full credentials, email, and professional website or LinkedIn account. Thank you!
If you follow this diet, I usually urge people to engage in 40 minutes of moderate exercise intensity, at least twice every week to get more health benefits. Again, if you are already on hypertension medication, please don’t stop taking them alongside the diet.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
