How Nutrition Affects Blood Pressure
What you eat directly affects your blood pressure. Sodium, potassium, magnesium, alcohol, and overall dietary patterns all play a role. The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet is one of the most evidence-backed interventions for hypertension — and a registered dietitian can help you implement it in a way that fits your food preferences and lifestyle, not just hand you a pamphlet.

Potassium & mineral balance
Increasing potassium-rich foods that counteract sodium's effect on blood pressure — fruits, vegetables, legumes, and more.
