High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) is called a “silent killer” and has no warning signs or symptoms. Your diet & lifestyle habits play a very important role here; relying solely on medications is not enough. This diet plan for hypertension is for all those who would like to know which foods should be included/excluded to keep your blood pressure in check.
Complications of High Blood Pressure:
Consistently high blood pressure can cause serious damage to the heart. Excessive pressure can harden arteries, decreasing the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart. This elevated pressure and reduced blood flow can cause:
- Chest pain (angina)
- Heart attack
- Heart failure
- Irregular heartbeat can lead to sudden death.
- Hypertension can also burst or block arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the brain, causing a stroke.
- Kidney damage, leading to kidney failure.
Diet & lifestyle habits play a major role in regulating blood pressure. Apart from the usual “reduced salt consumption”, there are many more hacks, nutrients and local superfoods (present in your kitchen) that can help you correct your readings and hopefully even reverse them (in some cases).
