Dr. Deepak Gupta emphasizes that while patients often associate blood pressure management with reducing salt intake, dietary changes like the DASH diet are equally important.
The DASH diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, has shown remarkable effectiveness in reducing hypertension even in high-sodium participants.
Despite the benefits of the DASH diet, a recent survey revealed that only about 1% of U.S. adults have attempted it in the last year.
Dr. Stephen Juraschek points out the surprising lack of adherence to the DASH diet, considering the extensive evidence supporting its effectiveness in managing high blood pressure.
