High Blood Pressure Diet

[David Ogden]

Weight Loss - Research indicates that there are a variety of foods for people suffering from high blood pressure that can both reduce the risk of developing hypertension and lowering an existing elevated blood pressure.

Creating a healthy eating plan will decrease the risk of living an unhealthy lifestyle.

Here is a list of foods that you should include in your diet.

Vegetarian Diet

Medical experts suggest that a vegetarian’s diet contains the wholesome ingredients that are essential to deter high blood pressure. People who choose to eliminate meats from their diets, specifically, vegetarians, have significantly lower blood pressure level and reduced incidents of hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. A vegetarian’s diet offers more potassium, complex carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fats, fiber, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin A.

Fiber

A high- fiber diet indicates treatment and prevention of many forms of cardiovascular disease to include high blood pressure. The types of dietary fiber that you eat are important to determine effectiveness. Hypertension is most affected by water soluble gel- forming fibers such as oat bran, apple pectin, psyllium seeds, and guar gum.

In addition to reversing the development or progression of high blood pressure, these fibers are also beneficial for reducing cholesterol levels, promote weight and loss, and filter out heavy metals, of which are all contributors to hypertension. Just one (1) to three (3) tablespoons of an herbal combination of all of the above mentioned fibers will make a major difference.

Sugar

Many people are unaware that the common table sugar or sucrose elevates blood pressure. There is a possibility, according to experts, that the sugar stimulates the adrenalin; thereby increasing blood vessel constriction and sodium retention. A diet that is high in potassium foods, such as vegetables and fruits and essential fatty acids would decrease and eliminate sucrose intake.

Salt

In relation to hypertension, the key to a healthy eating plan is to consume meals that are lower in sodium. A high consumption of sodium along with low levels of potassium in your body results in high fluid volume and immediate dysfunction of blood pressure regulating mechanisms. Essentially, a high potassium- low sodium diet is extremely effective.

For instance, during the occurrence of mental anguish or stress, the diet will reduce the blood vessels’ constricting effects on adrenalin. The American Heart Association recommends that you limit the intake of sodium to less than 2.4 grams daily.
