Healthy food is similar to medication that treat hypertension. However, you don't require prescriptions and you don't need to worry about adverse negative effects. Choose carefully, eat and then repeat.

Like there are food items that can raise the blood pressure as well, there are food items which lower it. There's even a diet plan to help you manage that. It's known as DASH Dietary Methods to End the Hypertension.

If you're following DASH or follow your own path try to concentrate on the foods you can eat rather than what you cannot. Similar to the other diet that you follow, an plan that helps lower blood pressure will focus on fruits and vegetables and whole grains, while avoiding fats as well as fried and processed foods as well as salty foods.

If you control the foods you eat, you will be able to reduce the high blood pressure and decrease the chance from the dreaded stroke, heart failure and heart attacks. Begin by focusing your shopping list around these healthy options.
