We’ll also detail the different types of high blood pressure and discuss how you can lower your blood pressure through dietary changes. What is a healthy blood pressure? Maintaining a healthy blood pressure is essential for good health. The heart pumps blood through your blood vessels by ...
A substantial body of evidence has implicated several aspects of diet in the pathogenesis of elevated blood pressure (BP). Well-established risk factors for elevated BP include excess salt intake, low potassium intake, excess weight, high alcohol consumption, and suboptimal dietary pattern. African ...
Purpose Studies in rodents have demonstrated that increased dietary sodium intake elevates blood pressure variability (BPV), independent of changes in resting blood pressure. Clinical studies have shown that increased BPV independently contributes to target organ damage and cardiovascular events. However, ...
Evidence supports that multiple dietary factors affect blood pressure (BP). Dietary changes that effectively lower BP are weight loss, reduced sodium intake, increased potassium intake, moderation of alcohol intake, and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension-style and vegetarian dietary patterns. In vie...
day and the DASH diet both lower blood pressure substantially, with greater effects in combination than singly. Long-term health benefits will depend on the ability of people to make long-lasting dietary changes and the increased availability of lower-sodium foods. (N Engl J Med 2001;...

It has been established in RCTs that high dose of phytosterols can significantly reduce blood cholesterol. However, it was uncertain whether low dose of phytosterols from daily diets was effective. In this study, we evaluated the associations between die
