45、ed for medication or even eliminate it. In 1997 a study called Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension showed for the first time that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, includes low-fat dairy products and keeps the lid on saturated fat can lower blood pressure dramaticaly. It might take you a
46、 while to get used to eating the required 8 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, which is twice what most Americans consume, but your efforts are. likely to be rewarded.
