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 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 Avoid obesity and overweight Keep alcohol intake within sensible limits Written by Dr Pamela Mason (a pharmacist with a postgraduate qualification in nutrition) Back to Top Home Journals News ...

Vegetarian Diets During Pregnancy by Reed Mangels, PhD, RD, FADA Introduction Pregnancy is a time of increased nutritional needs, both to support the rapidly growing fetus and to allow for the changes occurring in the pregnant woman's body. Throughout pregnancy, recommended intakes of vitamins and minerals are higher than for the non-pregnant state. For example, the recommendation for folic acid is 50 percent higher (1) and the recommendation for iron is doubled (2) in pregnancy. Vegetarian and vegan diets can easily meet these nutrient needs (3). Weight Gain It is important that all pregnant women have adequate weight gain. Weight gain recommendations vary depending on the prepregnancy weight and needs of the woman, therefore energy needs vary as well. A general trend is to have little weight gain (less than 5 pounds) for the first 12 weeks. Then, in the second and third trimesters, a weight gain of a pound or two a week is suggested. Current weight gain recommendations (4) are applicable to vegetarians. The recommendations for weight gain are listed in Table 1. Table 1. Recommended Weight Gain During Pregnancy

Updated 30 November 2003 Overview Questions and Answers Hypertension: Does Dietary Salt Matter? Charles C. McCormick, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Division of Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University Throughout most of human history the availability of dietary sodium has been remarkably limited. There are many areas of the world which are virtually devoid of significant sources of sodium. Some believe that this scarcity led to the evolution of physiological mechanisms that allow humans to conserve body sodium. Even today, populations exist where sodium consumption is hundreds of times lower than that found in western diets. These populations appear healthy and show little sign of an elevation in blood pressure with age. Research over the last two decades has focused on whether sodium intake "beyond physiological need," characteristic of many western diets, is potentially harmful. Is the current dietary consumption of sodium excessive?
