Every year on May 17, World Hypertension Day is commemorated to raise awareness about the dangers of hypertension, or high blood pressure, in the body.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, damages the small blood vessels that filter blood in the kidney, making waste elimination harder and leading to a damaged kidney. When the kidneys’ function begins to decline, they can increase blood pressure by producing hormones or causing salt and water retention in the body.
It is an incredibly crucial parameter that every hypertensive person, regardless of age, should have their renal function checked at least once every six months. It is critical for people with high blood pressure and renal disease to maintain control over their blood pressure through lifestyle modifications. It is critical to follow a rigorous food plan.
Restricting salt and sodium isn’t the only thing you can do, but it’s crucial to learn how to follow a DASH (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) diet. Maintaining hydration and engaging in 45 minutes of physical exercise every day not only lowers blood pressure and avoids renal disease, but also keeps your weight and general health in balance.
Consume fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, refined cereals and grains, saturated foods and organ meat, and packaged and canned foods.
