For managing hypertension, the recommended dietary approach is known as the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). This diet emphasizes consuming fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy while reducing salt intake. Foods high in potassium, magnesium, and fiber are emphasized for their role in lowering blood pressure. Additionally, limiting saturated fats, sugars, and processed foods is essential in maintaining healthy blood pressure levels over the long term.
