The Atkins diet, which contains 50 or fewer grams of carbohydrates per day, was by the most effective diet in lowering blood pressure over a year.

Interesting article and as I am a fan of low carb very appealing figures.

Also my hubby had a routine blood pressure check and it was sky high luckily with no symptoms. The gp quizzed him on his diet and suggested cutting out the snacks of salty peanuts and salty flavoured crisps and two weeks later after substituting for 'salt and shake crisps' and not using the blue salt sachet, his bp is almost normal!

Thank you for sharing this piece of information. Yes, I already had read the benefits of a low-carb diet. Good shape. And healthy inside. It is just really hard to avoid their appeals. The sugars know how to steal your heart and then leave you destroyed (evil pun). What mode of diet do you switch to comabt low b.p, though ? Other than mdications, I will try anything suggested.

Try increasing your salt intake. This seems to have had good results for many people.

Crowan - sodium increase should just be slight for hypotension - more important is an increase in hydration, otherwise it could tip the scales the wrong way.

Have you read "The Salt Fix" by Dr James DiNicolantonio? Very interesting book.

That's really great article. I have been on ketogenic diet on and off for over a year and half, and in November went strict. My diet currently consists of a lot of salmon (about five to six times a week) and assorted olives per day. I went to the doctor Monday and had the lowest BP reading in years. I'm hoping this means eventually I can go off to meds. This is enough right here to keep me strict ketogenic diet.
