Hypertension and it's prevention through dietary intakes!

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition where blood pressure exceeds 140/90 mmHg, putting extra strain on the heart and blood vessels. Common signs and symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nosebleeds, fatigue, and vision changes, although many people are asymptomatic. Dietary treatment involves reducing sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg/day, increasing potassium-rich foods like bananas, leafy greens, and sweet potatoes, and following the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, which emphasizes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and low-fat dairy. Additionally, incorporating omega-3 rich foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, and limiting saturated and trans fats, added sugars, and refined carbohydrates can help manage hypertension. #hypertension#health#wellnesstips#highbloodpressure#preventhypertension#manageblooodpressure#hnd#kaims
