Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) Diet
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) Diet
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a silent yet serious health condition that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and other complications. Managing blood pressure through proper nutrition and lifestyle changes can significantly reduce health risks. At Sai Dental and Wellness Centre, Dr. Shilpi Gupta (M.Sc. in Food and Dietetics) provides personalized diet plans to help maintain healthy blood pressure and overall cardiovascular health.
Why is Diet Important for Managing Hypertension?
Excess salt, unhealthy fats, and processed foods can lead to fluid retention and increased pressure on blood vessels. A heart-friendly diet can help regulate blood pressure, reduce strain on the heart, and prevent complications.
Key Components of a Hypertension Diet
✔ Low-Sodium Diet – Reducing salt intake to prevent fluid retention and high blood pressure spikes.
✔ DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) – A proven diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
✔ Magnesium & Potassium-Rich Foods – Supports vascular relaxation and better blood flow (e.g., bananas, leafy greens, nuts).
✔ Heart-Healthy Fats – Including omega-3-rich foods like fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts to reduce inflammation.
✔ High-Fiber Foods – Whole grains, legumes, and vegetables to support heart health and cholesterol balance.
✔ Balanced Hydration – Proper water intake to maintain fluid balance and kidney function.
