How blood pressure works
Blood pressure rises and falls through the day. When it stays high, it strains the arteries, heart and kidneys. NIH NHLBI

Blood pressure stays in the healthy range
Root cause: Too much sodium, too little potassium, extra weight and inactivity keep the pressure high.

Blood pressure is the force of the blood on the walls of your arteries. It counts as high when readings are consistently 130 mm Hg systolic or higher, or 80 mm Hg diastolic or higher. Over time, high blood pressure can damage artery walls and let plaque build up. NIH NHLBINIH NHLBI

Controlling high blood pressure helps prevent or delay serious problems such as chronic kidney disease, heart attack, heart failure, stroke and possibly vascular dementia. High blood pressure can also damage blood vessels and limit blood flow to the brain. NIH NHLBICDC

🍽️ The eating pattern that ties it together
The DASH plan emphasises vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy, fish, poultry, beans and nuts, and limits sodium and saturated fat. NIH NHLBI
Authorised claims say a nutrient contributes to a normal body function. They do not mean that eating more than you need improves that function, or that a food treats any condition. Population studies show associations, not proof of cause.
