Were you looking for information about

High Blood Pressure Diet? High blood presure diet is a common misspelling of high blood pressure diet.

A diet designed to lower high blood pressure focuses on eating more fish, whole grains, and poultry, while limiting the amount of sweets, red meats, and fats. Clinical studies on this type of diet -- known as the "DASH" diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) -- have shown that this diet can reduce blood pressure by an amount similar to that seen with blood pressure medicine. Research has also shown that blood pressure levels were reduced the most in people who followed the DASH diet plan at the lowest sodium level (1,500 milligrams per day). Following a diet for high blood pressure can reduce your risk for hypertension.
