Abstract:

Dietary and life style modification plays a crucial role in both patients who are suffering from hypertension, as well as those who are in healthy states. Weight loss by diet can reduce BP, for instance, restriction in salt intake by avoiding excessive amount of salt in food and in cooking. Other restriction are also taken into consideration during person suffering from hypertension like moderate alcohol consumption ( 1-2 drinks per days) while on other hand increase in potassium intake can be effective against lowering of BP by taking rich diet in fruits, vegetable and beans. Vegetarian diet also shows beneficial impacts against BP. Physical exercises play an important role in reducing BP (yoga and medication). Thus by adopting these restriction and implementations of such type of non pharmaceutical methods the BP and heart disorders can be effectively controlled.

Key words: Lifestyle modifications, Hypertension, patient compliance.
