Maintaining a healthy diet is crucial for lowering the level of blood pressure; your food affects the possibility of suffering high blood pressure (hypertension). And since following a healthy and balanced diet curbs the risk of low or high blood pressure, it is highly recommended to adopt a heart-friendly diet. Such a diet helps control blood pressure, mitigate the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other health complications. The blood pressure can be lowered by eating low-fat, low-cholesterol foods, skimmed or low-fat dairy products, and eating more vegetables and fruits. ‘DASH’ stands for: Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension.
