Hypertension occurs in 1 in 3 adults. It is more prevalent as we age, and stress can be a big component. What about diet? A study of looking at pre-hypertensive and stage 1 hypertensive adults compared a variety of diets to the effects on hypertension. The DASH diet, a diet which grew from the Mediterranean diet and includes whole foods showed a significant reduction in blood pressure allowing participants to control their blood pressure without medication. Food is our source of energy, but also our source of health. If you could modify your diet, and control your health would you make those dietary changes?
