Dietary strategies for the prevention of hypertension

Elevated blood pressure emerges from a combination of natural and hereditary components and the interactions of these factors. A substantial body of evidence from animal studies, epidemiologic studies, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials has demonstrated that certain dietary patterns and individual dietary elements play a prominent role in the development of hypertension. Changes in diet can lower blood pressure, prevent the development of hypertension, and decrease the risk of hypertension-related complications. Dietary techniques for the prevention of hypertension incorporate diminishing sodium intake, restricting liquor utilization, increasing potassium intake, and adopting an in general dietary design such as the Dash (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet or a Mediterranean diet. In order to decrease the burden of blood pressure-related complications, endeavours that centre on environmental and person behavioural changes that empower and promote healthier nourishment choices are warranted
