Abstract:Hypertension or high
blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney disease. Adequate
evidence is available, from studies conducted within and across populations, to
link several nutrients, minerals, food groups and dietary patterns with an
increased or decreased risk of hypertension. Dietary saturated fats and dietary
sodium is associated with elevation of blood pressure, while regular frequent
intake of fruits and vegetables is protective against hypertension. Sufficient
knowledge regarding the recommendation of nutritional interventions, at both
population and individual levels, for reduction of hypertension is now being
used to promote healthy diets and discourage unhealthy diets.
