Hypertension & Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a silent risk factor for heart disease and stroke. As a state‑registered dietitian, I can help you adopt the DASH style of eating—rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low‑fat dairy—and show you how to limit sodium, saturated fat and added sugars to lower your blood pressure.
How I Can Help
Managing hypertension isn’t just about taking medication—it’s about making sustainable lifestyle changes that support cardiovascular health. We’ll work together to create a meal plan that emphasises potassium‑rich fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains while minimising sodium and unhealthy fats. Research shows that the DASH eating pattern can effectively lower blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease.
- Reduce sodium and processed foods while boosting flavour with herbs and spices.
- Increase intake of potassium‑rich fruits and vegetables.
- Choose whole grains, lean proteins and low‑fat dairy products.
- Develop sustainable habits to support weight management and heart health.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or looking to fine‑tune your routine, I’ll provide the personalised guidance you need to keep your blood pressure in check.
