High Blood Pressure

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

Managing high blood pressure with a weight-neutral approach centers on optimizing lifestyle choices:

• Reducing sodium intake by focusing on fresh, whole foods and decreasing heavily processed foods.

• Increasing potassium-rich foods such as bananas, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens to help balance sodium levels.

• Regular physical activity (e.g., walking, swimming, cycling) to improve circulation and heart function.

• Mindfulness and relaxation to manage stress and lower blood pressure without focusing on weight.
