I have high blood pressure. Can diet change reverse high blood pressure?

1 Answer

Yes, dietary changes can play a significant role in managing and even potentially reversing high blood pressure (hypertension), especially in the early stages or in people who are not taking medication. While diet alone may not always be enough to fully reverse high blood pressure, it can be a powerful tool to lower blood pressure and reduce the need for medication.

While diet is crucial, it's also important to work with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive approach to managing high blood pressure. In some cases, lifestyle changes may need to be paired with medication, especially if blood pressure remains high or if there is a risk of complications.
