Benefits of the diet

In addition to the medication prescribed by your doctor, which must be followed at all costs, your diet can help lower your blood pressure.

The first step is to reduce salt intake at mealtimes.

Since hypertension is a cardiovascular risk factor, it is also in our interest to promote fibre and favour fats of good nutritional quality (mainly omega-3).

Losing weight will also help to reduce blood pressure, as will not smoking and not drinking alcohol, which will help to preserve the condition of the arteries as much as possible.
