The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet is specifically designed to help lower blood pressure. It recommends increasing intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean proteins, and reducing intake of saturated fats and sodium. This type of diet has been shown to have a significant impact in reducing blood pressure in those with hypertension. Following a high-glycemic diet (A) can actually increase blood pressure, reducing potassium intake (B) can also worsen hypertension, and while iron and zinc (D) are important nutrients, they do not have a direct impact on blood pressure.
