Credits Tips for following the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet Why does adding more fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy products to my diet help me lower my high blood pressure? People who do not eat a balanced diet or one that includes mainly processed foods usually do not get enough and potassium, calcium, and magnesium in their diets. Not getting enough of these nutrients, which come from fruits, vegetable and dairy products, may contribute to high blood pressure. Researchers believe that it is the combination of 8 to 10 servings a day of fruits and vegetables, and 3 servings of low-fat dairy products that causes the DASH diet to lower blood pressure. Simply adding calcium, potassium, and magnesium supplements to the diet does not lower blood pressure.

You are here: Home Fact Sheets no. 9.318 Diet and Hypertension by J. Anderson and L. Young Quick Facts... Calories and body weight go hand in hand. Excess body fat leads to an increased risk of health problems. Potassium has an important role in blood pressure treatment. Low calcium intake may increase risk of hypertension. Excessive sodium intake is linked with high blood pressure or hypertension in some people. Dietary recommendations suggest avoiding too much sodium. The suggested range is 1,100 to 3,300 mg per day. Table salt is 40 percent sodium. One teaspoon has about 2,000 mg sodium. Hypertension (high blood pressure) affects one in four adults in the United States. Another 25 percent of adults have blood pressure readings considered to be on the high end of normal. Your blood pressure is the force exerted on your artery walls by the blood flowing through your body. A blood pressure reading provides two measures, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure, which are expressed as millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), or how high the pressure of blood would raise a column of mercury. Systolic pressure is measured as the heart pumps. Diastolic pressure is measured between beats, as blood flows back into the heart. Table 1: Know Your Numbers.

Next page High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) What is high blood pressure? How is the blood pressure measured? How clearly established is the normal level of blood pressure? What is isolated systolic hypertension? ... High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) At A Glance What is high blood pressure? High blood pressure or hypertension means high pressure (tension) in the arteries. The arteries are the vessels that carry blood from the pumping heart to all of the tissues and organs of the body. Hypertension does not mean excessive emotional tension, although emotional tension and stress can temporarily increase the blood pressure. High blood pressure is generally defined as a level exceeding 140/90 mm Hg that has been confirmed on multiple occasions. The systolic blood pressure, which is the top number, represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart contracts and pumps blood into the circulation. The diastolic pressure, which is the bottom number, represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart relaxes after the contraction. The diastolic pressure, therefore, reflects the minimum pressure to which the arteries are exposed. An elevation of the systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure increases the risk of developing heart (cardiac) disease, kidney (renal) disease, hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), eye damage, and

Important information on blood pressure. A diet low in fat and high in vegetables, fruits, and low fat dairy foods significantly and quickly lowers blood pressure, according to a nationwide trial supported by the National Institutes of Health. The diet worked especially well for those with high blood pressure, producing reductions similar to those from single-drug therapy. But it also proved effective for those with high normal blood pressure, who are at a substantial risk of developing hypertension. The blood pressure reductions occurred without changes in weight, or alcohol or sodium consumption. Results from the "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension" (DASH) trial appear in the April 17, 1997, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). Preliminary results from the trial had been presented at the American Heart Association meeting in November 1996. The NEJM article gives the final results and describes the diet patterns used. DASH was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), with additional support by the National Center for Research Resources and the Office of Research on Minority Health. All three are units of the National Institutes of Health. "High blood pressure affects about one in four Americans, but there have been few dietary guidelines to help prevent or control it," said NHLBI Director Dr. Claude Lenfant. "DASH offers another nutritional approach. If added to other lifestyle recommendations, the DASH diet should help prevent hypertension and may reduce some persons' need for medication to control the condition."

Community Latest News Diabetes and Diet You've recently been diagnosed with diabetes and enough of what the doctor said has sunk in that you realize you need to closely evaluate your diet. Although there was probably a lot of "don't eat this" and "be sure to watch out for that," hopefully there was also some encouragement, because a diagnosis of diabetes is not a sentence to a future of tasteless, bland cuisine. How Does Diabetes Affect Diet? Normally, the body produces a hormone called insulin. With diabetes, the ability to make or utilize insulin is impaired. Without insulin, the body can't properly use glucose, the simple sugar the body produces from the food we eat. Insulin is the key that unlocks cells and lets the glucose enter, thus providing energy for critical cell metabolism. The regulation of blood sugar in the non-diabetic is automatic, adjusting to whatever foods are eaten. For the diabetic, however, extra care must be taken to balance food intake (and the resultant impact on blood sugar levels ) with insulin injections, exercise and any other glucose altering activity. Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes?

Consultation Service The DASH Diet* Everyone is looking for a diet that is going to help them be successful in improving their health. Most people have goals of either decreasing their weight or reducing their risk factors for developing disease. This section is going to briefly review a new diet that is heart-healthy and can help decrease the risk of many diseases by incorporating healthy eating habits into your life. Used in combination with an exercise program, this diet can help you lose weight. The diet is called the DASD diet. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension. This diet is based on a study (the DASH study) that found that dietary patterns can have a positive effect on blood pressure. Facts About High Blood Pressure: Fortunately, there are many steps that can help control or prevent you from developing high blood pressure. These include: (1) maintaining a desirable body weight, (or losing some weight if you are overweight), (2) exercise regularly/become more physically active, (3) eat healthy-this includes choosing foods lower in salt and sodium, (4) limiting alcohol intake, and (5) if prescribed, take high blood pressure medication.

home about us programs press releases ... Pdf Health Library Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Hypertension is another name for high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force exerted on artery walls when the heart is beating and when it is at rest. The higher number is the "Systolic" pressure and is the pressure exerted on artery walls when the heart is in the contracting phase. The lower number is the "Diastolic" pressure and is the pressure exerted on artery walls when the heart is in the resting phase. High blood pressure is a silent killer. If left unchecked, it can cause permanent damage, resulting in kidney failure, heart attack or stroke. Blood pressure is recorded in the form of a fraction with the higher number on the top and the lower number on the bottom. Blood pressure is considered high if the upper number (systolic pressure) is above 140 and the bottom number (diastolic pressure) is above 90 and stays there. High blood pressure (HBP) affects two thirds of African-Americans. Left unchecked, it can have such serious long-term consequences as kidney damage, heart damage and stroke. African Americans suffer more extensive physical impairments from stroke that last longer than those of other racial groups. Most of the time, the cause for high blood pressure cannot be determined, but, while the cause may not be known, the treatment can still be effective.

If can vegetables are used rinse them prior to cooking under running water for two to three minuets. Rinsing canned vegetables will decrease the sodium content by approximately 40 percent. Season with herbs, spices, herbed vinegar, herb rub, and fruit juices or prepare easy salt-free herb blends. See recipes below. Read the "Nutrition Facts" information on the label to find the sodium content of a packaged food. You will find the sodium content in milligrams for a single serving. The % Daily Value for sodium is also given. The amount is based on 2,400 milligrams of sodium for the day. Choose low-sodium products. Read the label and look for words such as, "unsalted," "no-salt-added," "reduced sodium," "sodium-free," or "low in sodium."
