DASH (Dietary approaches to stop hypertension) is one such diet. It cuts the sodium that we get from food and drink. Eating the right type of fat and avoiding unhealthy ones can also be useful. Since the DASH diet limits high-fat food and refined carbohydrates, it can help in weight loss. Foods such as grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, etc are components of the DASH diet. Monitoring the calorie content of the food taken also helps in keeping track of nutrient intake in a hypertensive patient. Family and individual education play an important role in managing hypertension. Learn all this in much greater detail in this course designed by Medvarsity and Dosily.
