Following a balanced diet that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products is a core component of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which is backed by research for its specific effectiveness in reducing the risk of developing hypertension. While increasing water intake is beneficial for hydration and general health, it does not have a known direct effect on blood pressure control. Engaging in moderate physical activity and practicing stress reduction are excellent components of overall cardiovascular health, but these measures do not specifically address the dietary factors most associated with blood pressure management.
