The good news comes from a study just released online in the journal Hypertension The study says a diet that stresses vegetables, fruits and low-fat dairy products may act as a natural diuretic that could let people lower their blood pressure without the use of medication. Previous research found this Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet significantly reduced blood pressure, but it was unclear how it did it. This new study says the DASH diet promotes salt excretion, similar to that of diuretic drugs, resulting in increased urine production. The benefits of the DASH diet seem to be most noticeable in people sensitive to the blood pressure effects of salt. The study included 375 adults with normal to moderately elevated blood pressure. They were randomly assigned to consume a DASH diet or a control diet for three consecutive 30-day periods. During each of those 30-day periods, they had different levels of salt intake. People on the DASH diet excreted salt easier and in greater amounts and also had reduced blood pressure. The study also found the impact of the DASH diet decreased as the level of salt intake decreased.

Special needs diets- family fun and family health information Home Meet Topics Files Tour The DASH Diet Everyone is looking for a diet that is going to help them be successful in improving their health. Most people have goals of either decreasing their weight or reducing their risk factors for developing disease. This section is going to briefly review a new diet that is heart-healthy and can help decrease the risk of many diseases by incorporating healthy eating habits into your life. Used in combination with an exercise program, this diet can help you lose weight. The diet is called the DASD diet. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension. This diet is based on a study (the DASH study) that found that dietary patterns can have a positive effect on blood pressure. Fortunately, there are many steps that can help control or prevent you from developing high blood pressure. These include: (1) maintaining a desirable body weight, (or losing some weight if you are overweight), (2) exercise regularly/become more physically active, (3) eat healthy-this includes choosing foods lower in salt and sodium, (4) limiting alcohol intake, and (5) if prescribed, take high blood pressure medication. The DASH Diet Study: The DASH diet study found that a diet reduced in total saturated fat and rich in fruits, vegetables and low-fat diary foods can significantly lower blood pressure. The DASH diet lowered blood pressure to the same extent as did anti-hypertensive medication. This is important because this shows that the DASH diet may represent an alternative to drug therapy for people with high blood pressure who are willing to comply with the diet.

The Pharmaceutical Journal Vol 264 No 7084 p285 February 19, 2000 Clinical Dietary advice tips (1) Hypertension Hypertension increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke. Diet and lifestyle are among the various factors that can contribute to hypertension, along with age, sex, genetics and stress. In addition to stopping smoking and exercising regularly, the following dietary advice is appropriate: Reduce salt intake - There is evidence that high sodium intake increases the risk of hypertension and that reducing salt intake may reduce risk. However, the influence of salt on blood pressure may be smaller than that of obesity or alcohol. Salt restriction has more effect in older people and in those with higher initial blood pressure. The UK recommendation is that the average adult sodium intake should fall by one-third (ie, from the current level of 9g/day to 6g/day). This can be achieved by cutting down on salt added during cooking or at the table. However, two-thirds of sodium is derived from processed foods (eg, pies, breakfast cereals, bread, canned soups, sausages, corned beef, savoury snacks), cheese, bacon and ham. Most fresh food contains little salt and should be recommended. Increase potassium intake - An increased potassium intake may be protective because potassium is a metabolic counterbalance to sodium. Potassium is found in fresh fruit and vegetables, especially in bananas, blackcurrants, rhubarb, apricots, dried fruit, fruit juice, mushrooms and spinach. It is also in baked beans.

And, following a low-fat diet that is high in fruits and vegetables works even better. "You can combine all these things together, and that's pretty encouraging," says Victor J. Stevens, a psychologist at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Ore., and a co-author of the study. Blood Pressure Problems Affect Millions Nearly 50 million Americans, or about a quarter of the adult population, have high blood pressure - a reading of at least 140 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) for the systolic (the higher number) and 90 mmHg for the diastolic (the lower number). "Reducing your blood pressure by even a few millimeters makes a difference," Stevens says. "The more pressure there is, the faster your circulatory system wears out."

Learn About Glucovance - The New Diabetes Fighter Home Health Bytes Hypertension Alternatives to Hypertension by Robert Pastore , Ph.D., CNC, CN The last issue of Health Bytes covered the basics of blood pressure regulation and hypertension. Now we will explore some possible alternatives to treat this condition. Prior to addressing what can reduce blood pressure, we should briefly address often over looked contributing factors to hypertension. Other than a poor diet, obesity, certain diseases, sedentary lifestyle, and a genetic predisposition, there are several contributing factors to hypertension. Lifestyle factors, environmental factors, and stress management can all play their part. Adjusting and addressing each of these factors can play a strong part in the non-pharmacological treatment of hypertension. A study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, depicted the hypertensive effect of chronic alcohol consumption. Studies from the New England Journal of Medicine correlate nicotine consumption from cigarettes and smokeless tobacco with an elevation in blood pressure. Even the daily consumption of coffee has been implicated in hypertension, as reported in the American Journal of Cardiology. Researchers from the Lancet stated back in 1976, that cadmium toxicity has been shown to independently increase blood pressure. Other researchers reported similar effects from lead in the American Journal of Epidemiology. The best safe guard against lead and cadmium toxicity is to remain acutely aware of their sources and avoid them when possible. Lead can be found in municipal water supplies, household lead pipes, and shooting ranges. Cadmium sources include industrial paints, and cigarettes.

A new study published in Archives of Internal Medicine provides further proof that that exercise, especially in combination with weight loss, can help keep high blood pressure under control. This study divided 133 sedentary, overweight men and women with mild hypertension into two groups. One group cycled, walked or jogged for 30 minutes, three to four times per week while following their usual diet. The second group followed the same exercise routine and also participated in an organized weight loss program. At the end of the six-month study, researchers found exercise alone significantly lowered blood pressure. Those that combined exercise and weight loss, though, showed an even greater reduction in blood pressure and lost an average of 7.8 kg (17 lbs) of excess weight. Among the latter group, 67% of those classified as mildly hypertensive at the start of the study had normal blood pressures after six months.

Hypertension DASH Diet Back to Hypertension he DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet was designed to provide a palatable diet that would be good for general health and lower the blood pressure. It contains a lot of potassium, magnesium, and calcium, minerals that have been shown to lower blood pressure. The potassium and magnesium are provided by fruits and vegetables, and the calcium by low-fat dairy products. The diet was first tested in a very tightly controlled study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health in which participants were fed one of three diets for an 8-week period. The first was a "control" diet, equivalent to the average American diet; the second was a diet rich in fruits, grains, and vegetables, and the third was the "DASH" diet, which was similar to the fruit and vegetable diet but with the addition of low-fat dairy products. Salt intake was not reduced in any of the diets. The combination DASH diet produced the greatest reduction of blood pressure (11 mmHg systolic and 6 mmHg diastolic). The fruit and vegetable diet also lowered blood pressure (by 7 mmHg systolic and 3 mmHg diastolic). African-Americans showed a bigger response than whites. A second DASH study examined the effects of varying the salt content of the diet. There were 412 patients with blood pressure in the "high normal" or mildly hypertensive range, who were randomly allocated to eat either a regular American diet or the DASH diet for 3 months. This was done by providing them with specially prepared meals. For each one of the 3 months the salt content was varied; the "high"-salt diet had 143 milliequivalents of sodium (3.3 grams), which is the same amount as the typical American diet; the "medium"-salt diet had 106 milliequivalents (3.3 grams), and the "low"-salt diet had 65 milliequivalents (1.5 grams).

Hypertension Back to Diseases and Conditions Clive Rosendorff, M.D., Ph.D. Professor, Medicine Acting Director, Hypertension Section Mount Sinai School of Medicine What is Hypertension? Everybody knows that high blood pressure is bad, but most people have only a hazy idea as to why, and what the term really means. In fact, all of us have high blood pressure some of the time, and we wouldn't be able to function if we didn't. High blood pressure is only of concern when it persists for long periods of time, and its adverse effects actually take many years to develop. It's very common: according to official government figures it affects 50 million people in the United States. The other name for it is hypertension, a word that often causes confusion. People who have high blood pressure are not particularly "hyper" or tense, in the usual sense of the word. The term simply refers to the increased tension or pressure in the arteries. The arteries are the elastic tubes that carry blood from the heart to the tissues. They are configured like a tree: the central trunk, or aorta

72. Dash Diet Dietary Approaches to Stop hypertension (DASH). hypertension is another name forhigh blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force exerted on artery walls http://www.womensheartfoundation.org/content/Nutrition/dash_diet.asp

Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Hypertension is another name for high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force exerted on artery walls when the heart is beating and when it is at rest. The higher number is the "Systolic" pressure and is the pressure exerted on artery walls when the heart is in the contracting phase. The lower number is the "Diastolic" pressure and is the pressure exerted on artery walls when the heart is in the resting phase. High blood pressure is a silent killer. If left unchecked, it can cause permanent damage, resulting in kidney failure, heart attack or stroke. Blood pressure is recorded in the form of a fraction with the higher number on the top and the lower number on the bottom. Blood pressure is considered high if the upper number (systolic pressure) is above 140 and the bottom number (diastolic pressure) is above 90 and stays there. High blood pressure (HBP) affects two thirds of African-Americans. Left unchecked, it can have such serious long-term consequences as kidney damage, heart damage and stroke. African Americans suffer more extensive physical impairments from stroke that last longer than those of other racial groups. Most of the time, the cause for high blood pressure cannot be determined, but, while the cause may not be known, the treatment can still be effective.

The answer to these questions increasingly appears to be yes. This "miracle" diet is available now in the grocery store. It is relatively low in fat, deriving less than 30 percent of daily calories from fat, but loaded with fruits and vegetables (8 to 10 servings a day) and grains (7 to 8 servings). It also contains two to three daily servings of low-fat or nonfat dairy products but only modest amounts of lean meat, poultry and fish (two or fewer 3-ounce cooked servings a day) and dried beans, nuts and seeds (four to five servings a week). No exotic foods, no supplements, no herbal concoctions. And, unless most of your meals are from coffee shops and fast-food restaurants, it is not as challenging to live on the diet as many people think.

Cado spends part of every Wednesday at campus locations, prepared to take the blood pressure of staff, faculty and students who stop by her table. Somewhere in a dream a fortuneteller is dealing cards to you. She lays them out on a table. Instead of the Tarot, Nordic runes or Egyptian hieroglyphics, a card reveals a food or a pastime. Some of the cards depict French fries, burgers, soft drinks, candy, salty fried snacks, and others show long hours spent watching TV. These appear on the table repeatedly. Other cards picturing exercising and eating vegetables, fresh fruit, fish and lean meat land on the floor more often than on the table. Once all the cards are dealt, the fortuneteller turns them over. First, the dagger through the heart, then the cane and the hospital bed. In actuality, you deal these cards to yourself every day, in large part creating your own future. The good news is that you can at least partially control one of the big factors that foreshadow heart disease. That's high blood pressure.

Even governments now witter on about reducing obesity, changing diet, and increasing exercise. That is a wonderful thing to see, but a problem can sometimes be that ordinary folk may not know which part of the message to concentrate on. Should I lose weight, or reduce my salt intake? Take more exercise, or eat more fruit? The answer is that comprehensive lifestyle modification is the key to getting on top of moderately raised blood pressure [1]. Bandolier has always had a dread of antihypertensive medicines, so knowing that a batch of changes can keep them at bay makes good reading. Study Participants in this randomised study were generally healthy adults with above optimal blood pressure, and included people with mild hypertension and who were not taking antihypertensive medicines. The systolic BP had to be between 120 and 159 mmHg, and the diastolic BP between 80 and 95 mmHg as a mean over three screening visits. They were 25 years of age or older, and had a body mass index between 18.5 and 45 kg/sq metre. Excluded were those taking drugs likely to affect blood pressure, and people who drank more than 21 units a week, or who had major medical conditions. Randomisation was to: An advice only group with a single 30 minute period of instruction.

Developed in conjunction with The American Academy of Family Physicians, The American Academy of Pediatrics, The American Dietetic Association, and The National Medical Association. Dairy Council Digest Archives A New Look At Dietary Patterns and Hypertension Summary An estimated 50 million American adults have hypertension (high blood pressure), a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Lifestyle approaches to prevent or treat hypertension include dietary changes, losing weight if overweight, stopping smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and increasing physical activity. Traditionally, dietary changes have focused on single nutrients, such as limiting salt/sodium intake. Almost 20 years ago, researchers reported that changes in the overall dietary pattern to include more dairy foods, fruits and vegetables could lower blood pressure. Support for this strategy has recently been provided by a large-scale study in the U.S. called DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). This government-sponsored multicenter study involved over 450 adults randomly assigned to one of three dietary regimens for eight weeks. Findings revealed that consuming a low fat diet rich in lowfat dairy foods, fruits, and vegetables (i.e., the so-called DASH diet) reduced blood pressure. Although a diet rich in fruits and vegetables also lowered blood pressure, it was less effective than the DASH combination diet containing dairy foods.

Your doctor may also want you to decrease the amount of sodium and sodium-rich prepared foods in your diet. Lowering sodium while following DASH has been proven to lower blood pressure even further than just DASH alone. Key points: Eating fewer processed foods, such as snack items, luncheon meats, and canned soups, will reduce the amount of sodium in your diet and help you lower your blood pressure. A diet low in calcium potassium , and magnesium and high in sodium may cause high blood pressure. To increase the potassium in your diet, fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of this nutrient. Dairy products are high in calcium and magnesium. DASH recommends that you eat 8 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables and 3 servings of low-fat dairy products per day. Eating a diet low in both saturated fats and total fat will also help lower your blood pressure. Only 30% of your total calories should be from fats, with only 7% to 10% of your fat calories from saturated fats. Saturated fats are found in meats, cheese, butter, poultry, snack foods, and other foods.
