ABSTRACT
Can an appropriate diet reduce the risk of arterial hypertension?
22% of the adult population worldwide suffer from hypertension which is also the cause of 10 million deaths each year. 95% of all cases are primary arterial hypertension with complex etiology, including genetic predisposition and environmental factors. While the genetic causes cannot be influenced, the lifestyle can be changed. Lifestyle modifications may not only support antihypertensive pharmacotherapy, but they can also help to normalize blood pressure and stop the pathophysiological cardiovascular continuum. This effect can be achieved by reducing body weight, increasing physical activity and following a proper diet. Not only does a diet based on vegetables, fruit and whole grain products, and low in salt and alcohol have a positive effect on blood pressure, but it also reduces the risk of other lifestyle-related diseases.
