Hypertension Diet
Yes, DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet is proven to help lower blood pressure, cholesterol and other fats in your blood. It can help lower your risk for heart attack and stroke and even help you lose weight. This diet is low in sodium (salt) and rich in nutrients.
Limit the use of preserved and packed foods that contain a lot of salt, such as pickles, papads, olives, ketchup, soy sauce, mayonnaise and barbeque sauce.
Learn to read food labels for sodium. You may be surprised at how much you’ll find, and where you’ll find it. Frozen foods, soups, salad dressings, and ready-to-eat foods have a lot of sodium.
It’s important to keep a check on your blood pressure levels and take proper treatment for hypertension because over some time increased blood pressure can affect your kidney, heart and brain causing serious health consequences.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure is a chronic problem. It is also called “silent killer” because in most of patients it gives no warning signs and many people do not know that they have high blood pressure.
Moreover, at early stage people don’t feel any symptoms or they ignore the symptoms in routine like headaches, nausea, dizziness, anxiety, blurred vision, chest pain. So, one should not ignore these symptoms and get the BP checked on regular bases. Even a single reading of high blood pressure should be taken seriously and regular monitoring is important. If not treated on time this high pressure of blood in the arteries lead to serious health concerns like heart disease, stroke and kidney failure.
The main factors responsible for this disease are lack of physical activity, obesity, irregular meal timings, wrong food choices, smoking, consumption of alcohol and stress. Lifestyle modifications along with medical treatment, low salt diet help to control the BP and delay the complications.
