Heart-Healthy Nutrition: Foods That Lower Blood Pressure

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects nearly 30% of the adult population in India. Often called the 'silent killer,' it can lead to serious health complications like heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems if left unmanaged.

While medication is sometimes necessary, nutrition plays a crucial role in managing blood pressure. The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy, has been shown to significantly reduce blood pressure in many people.
