Muscle Metabolism

What is the best diet for hypertension?
High blood pressure can be controlled by taking prescribed medications exactly as ordered by your healthcare provider, diet and exercise.
As we know, in the long run nutrients in food (like fiber, vitamins, and minerals) matter more for health than calories alone.
“Eating more fruits and vegetables adds nutrients to diets, reduces the risk for heart disease, stroke, and some cancers, and helps manage body weight when consumed in place of more energy-dense foods”as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts it.
Choosing foods that are low in sodium and high in potassium helps reduce blood pressure. Foods that are high in fiber and low in fat have a bearing on blood pressure. Limit alcohol use.
Losing weight (limiting portion sizes & physical activity) even as a little as 5% -a person weighing 220 pounds just losing 11 pounds- can make a significant reduction in blood pressure.
Living a healthy lifestyle is key to prevention and management, but the fact is that only about half of people with high blood pressure have their condition under control. One way to keep blood pressure in a healthy range is to reach a healthy weight. Science offers new insights on muscle metabolism, training type and duration to achieve personal goals.
