New Guidelines: Fighting Hypertension with Lifestyle Modifications
People will have questions about lifestyle modifications for managing hypertension, as new guidelines from the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology continue to emphasize heart-healthy eating patterns like the DASH diet, sodium reduction, and increased physical activity. Our NatMed article highlights clinical evidence showing that the DASH diet and sodium reduction can significantly lower blood pressure, and combining these strategies with weight loss yields even greater benefits. We discuss additional approaches such as yoga and transcendental meditation, noting their potential for stress reduction and blood pressure improvement. Subscribers can check out our “Effectiveness by Condition” tool for additional evidence-based lifestyle modification strategies.
