Mediterranean Diet and Prevention of Hypertension

Christina

Research indicates Mediterranean populations have lower incidents of CVD

MUFA and polyphenols in Olive oil have beneficial effects on blood pressure

Fruits and Vegetable intake has an inverse relationship with High Blood Pressure

Decreased alcohol intake may reduce blood pressure

Moderate sodium intake may reduce the risk of hypertension and lower blood pressure

DECREASE

INCREASE

High fiber intake is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and may lower BP

Adhering to a Mediterranean diet with positive lifestyle patterns will help reduce BP
