Study results indicated that elevated blood pressures were reduced by an eating plan that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy foods and is low in saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol. The DASH diet includes whole grains, poultry, fish, and nuts and has reduced amounts of fats, red meats, sweets, and sugared beverages.

NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, June 21, 2001 Contact: NHLBI Communications Office DASH Hypertension Diet Also Lowers Cholesterol, Finds New NHLBI-Funded Study An eating plan known to lower blood pressure also significantly lowers blood cholesterol levels, according to results of a study supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health. Scientists have found that the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet significantly reduces the levels of total cholesterol and of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol. Compared to those on a control diet, which reflected a typical American's eating habits, individuals on the DASH eating plan reduced on average their levels of total cholesterol by 13.7 mg/dL or 7.3 percent, and their levels of LDL cholesterol by 10.7 mg/dL or 9 percent. The findings are published in the July 2001 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition "Studies have proven the DASH diet to be beneficial for individuals with high blood pressure or those wishing to prevent high blood pressure. These latest findings provide strong evidence that individuals with high blood cholesterol can also benefit significantly from this eating plan," commented NHLBI director Dr. Claude Lenfant. "Physicians and their patients with heart disease can add the DASH diet to the armament of tools known to help lower a person's risk of coronary heart disease."

But what is blood pressure? Its something everyone has and it’s something that we can’t do without. As blood is pumped through your body's arteries, it creates force against the inside walls of your blood vessels. The amount of blood the heart pumps and the resistance of the arteries determines your blood pressure. A "silent killer," ..High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, but yet it can lead to serious and even life-threatening problems if left untreated. The good news is that there are ways to manage hypertension. Why me, why now?

This fact makes hypertension one of our primary targets in the campaign to improve health and wellness. Poorly controlled hypertension can lead to a variety of serious health problems including strokes, heart disease and kidney failure. African Americans suffer from the complications of hypertension at alarmingly high rates. Often, we do not receive treatment until the blood pressure has been elevated for many years and has already began to damage organs in the body. Compared to Whites, African Americans develop hypertension at an earlier age and are more prone to have substantially elevated pressures.

Reducing high blood pressure requires deliberate changes in lifestyle and, many times , medical intervention. Looking for a non-pharmacological approach to reduce high blood pressure, researchers from several leading medical centers have developed a promising diet. The DASH Diet encourages specific food-groups for the purpose of lowering total blood pressure while, at the same time, reducing the risks of other chronic diseases. In fact, according to a recent review published in a supplement to the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, "... an important consideration in designing the DASH combination diet was that it be fully compatible with diets recommended for prevention of cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease." "Even slight elevations of blood pressure above the optimal level of less than 120/80 mm Hg are unhealthy"

The DASH Diet What is the DASH diet? The DASH (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) diet focuses on increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables in the diet. It also encourages limiting meat, poultry and seafood in the diet. Thus, it is important for people to learn how to make meals that are not based on having a meat dish. The final element of DASH is low fat dairy products. This is an important finding, as one of the groups studied in DASH who limited dairy had only a modest decrease in their blood pressure. Why the DASH diet? The DASH diet was specifically designed to aid in the lowering of blood pressure. Prior to DASH, the only notable dietary focus was to lower sodium (table salt) in the diet. Unfortunately, only one third of people with high blood pressure show a lowering of their pressure when salt is restricted in their diet. The investigators in the DASH study used a different approach. They carefully controlled the diet of many people with high blood pressure while permitting others to maintain their conventional diet. After 8 weeks, people adhering to the DASH diet lowered their blood pressure by 5-8 points. This effect is equivalent to what we often see when a person takes a single medication to control their blood pressure. (Published in April 17, 1997 New England Journal of Medicine ). In fact, a follow up study showed that the DASH diet in conjunction with a very low salt diet was more effective than either alone (

16. Working Towards Normal Blood Pressure With Stress Management And A Hypertension Normal blood pressure can be maintained, or high blood pressure lowered,by following a hypertension diet and learning stress management. http://www.living-with-hypertension.com/

You Want Me to What Okay, so you've thought for years you have normal blood pressure, and suddenly the doctor tells you that you have high blood pressure, and that you can fall victim to heart disease, strokes and other nasties unless you do something about it! Fair enough; a bit of a surprise maybe, but okay, what do you do about it? And then he tells you. You've been having enough trouble trying to quit smoking, and now he wants you to lose weight (try doing that when you're trying to kick nicotine), follow a strict hypertension diet, start exercising, and learn about stress management. To top it all off, he wants you to keep alcohol consumption to moderate levels. High blood pressure can wreak havoc on your health over time. Some of hypertension's more common complications include: heart attack stroke kidney disease clogged arteries. Diabetic Recipes About Osteoporosis Depression Treatments Other Health Sites Your first thought might be that normal blood pressure and the joys of life are mutually exclusive. Your second is likely to be disbelief. How are you supposed to do all that? You don't want a heart attack, but if you try doing all this at once you'll need some stress management to avoid one. Your blood pressure went up just listening to all that! The key to success is to start with one thing at a time. Ask your doctor which change you should start with, and remember that these lifestyle changes overlap. A hypertension diet cuts out a lot of fat and salt, which leads to weight loss. Weight loss leads to more energy, which makes it easier to exercise, which makes it easier to lose weight.

Lowering Blood Pressure Through a Low Sodium Diet A high blood pressure diet isn't really a diet. Rather, it's learning how to avoid certain types of food that contribute to hypertension. Of course, as many of the foods you'll be avoiding cause weight gain, you might be able to lose weight while lowering blood pressure. Salty Stories The human body needs less than a teaspoon of salt per day. The average American consumes anywhere between 2 to 4 teaspoons of salt per day—much of it hidden in processed or pre-packaged food. Excessive amounts of sodium in our diets accounts for many increases in blood pressure, and a low sodium diet is often the first suggestion doctors make when a patient has high blood pressure. We get most of our sodium through sodium chloride—good old table salt. Processed food is another source of sodium, and should be avoided if you're following a high blood pressure diet. If you're wondering how to start a low sodium diet, many cookbooks are especially designed for people who need to restrict their salt intake. You can find low sodium recipes on-line, at the library, or through your local diabetes association. Although this may look like a list of your favorite snack foods, it's also a list of foods to avoid if you suspect hypertension

Previous Page Stories of Discovery Too Much Pressure: Relieving the Burden of Hypertension Chances are that you know someone with hypertension, or you may have the condition yourself. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 24 percent of people in the United States between the ages of 20 and 74 have hypertension, or high blood pressure. For men 75 years or older, the number rises to 64 percent, and for women, 77 percent. Because prolonged hypertension often leads to stroke, heart disease, kidney damage, or blindness, the prevalence of high blood pressure constitutes a major public health problem. GCRCs also played an important role in the development of a class of antihypertensive drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. These drugs block the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that raises blood pressure. ACE inhibitors are especially useful in the treatment of hypertension caused by kidney disease or blockage of the arteries leading to the kidneys. They also are a favored treatment for mild, uncomplicated hypertension because they produce fewer side effects than many other antihypertensive drugs.

Types of FSD Diabetes and Diet Menopause and Osteoporosis Treatments for Depression Hypertension Hypertension is the name of a condition in which blood pressure is persistently elevated (it stays high for a long period of time). Blood pressure is a measure of the pressure of the blood against the blood vessel walls. Persistent high blood pressure puts undue stress on the heart, blood vessels and other organs. The Causes of High Blood Pressure The causes of high blood pressure are a bit of a mystery. About 5% of patients requiring hypertension treatment can trace their high blood pressure to a physical cause such as kidney disease. Treatment of the disease reduces the symptoms of high blood pressure. But for of patients who undergo hypertension treatment, the causes of high blood pressure are unknown . Diet and stress are suspected as prime contributors to hypertension, but medical experts aren't exactly certain of all the mechanisms involved. Society's to Blame! Well, okay, maybe not to blame , but a much higher incidence of hypertension exists in Western society than in other cultures. Studies done in Africa examined Africans' blood pressure before and after entering a big city and adopting Western lifestyles. Blood pressure usually rose after the move to the city.
