Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure) Diet
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, occurs when blood pressure drops below normal levels, leading to dizziness, fatigue, fainting, blurred vision, and shock in severe cases. Proper nutrition plays a key role in maintaining stable blood pressure levels and preventing sudden drops. At Sai Dental and Wellness Centre, Dr. Shilpi Gupta (M.Sc. in Food and Dietetics) offers personalized diet plans to help individuals manage hypotension effectively.
Why is Diet Important for Low Blood Pressure?
Low blood pressure can result from nutritional deficiencies, dehydration, prolonged fasting, hormonal imbalances, or certain medications. A well-balanced diet can help increase blood volume, improve circulation, and maintain energy levels.
Key Nutritional Strategies for Hypotension
✔ Adequate Salt Intake – Increasing sodium consumption moderately to stabilize blood pressure.
✔ Hydration & Electrolyte Balance – Drinking plenty of water, coconut water, and electrolyte-rich fluids to prevent dehydration.
✔ Iron & Vitamin B12-Rich Foods – Supporting red blood cell production to prevent anemia-induced hypotension.
✔ Frequent, Small Meals – Preventing blood sugar crashes and sudden drops in pressure.
✔ Protein & Healthy Fats – Ensuring a steady energy supply and preventing post-meal hypotension.
✔ Caffeine in Moderation – Tea or coffee can provide a temporary blood pressure boost when consumed in moderation.
