Stroke and heart attack due to hypertension are leading causes of death in many countries. This is more so with increasing unhealthy lifestyles where diet plays a very significant role. Fast-paced life jam-packed with lots of things to work on and quick treats to fill pangs of hunger lead to imbalance in bodily systems. The normal nutritional requirements of the the body is compromised, cholesterol builds up and narrows the arteries thereby increasing blood pressure.

Physicians of late lowered values for people prone to hypertension. Formerly, systolic readings of 120 and diastolic of 80 are considered normal. Nowadays, these are already considered pre-hypertensive values. Normal values should be lower than the usual 120/80.

Dealing with hypertension varies as interaction between genes and environments determines the severity of the condition. Nothing could be done about the gene factor but other predisposing factors allows manipulation. Lifestyle changes are almost always prescribed by doctors. The dietary approach, however, appears to play a great role. It can bring your health back. I present my case to illustrate how diet can significantly bring blood pressure back to normal. I titled it "The Miracle of Diet in Controlling Hypertension".
