Studies have show that blood pressure can be lowered by
healthy eating and lifestyle modifications.

Hypertension), which emphasizes consumption of fruits, vegetable, low fat dairy
products, and low sodium may lower blood pressure within two weeks without the
use of medication. The Renal Dietitians at Glens Falls Hospital offer this
program to the community. Participants receive an overview of the DASH Diet, a
risk assessment, recipes, and suggestions for setting goals and making lifestyle
changes.
