Hello Doctor,
I've been diagnosed with high blood pressure, and I’m also concerned about my kidney health. Are there any specific dietary recommendations I should follow to help manage my blood pressure while also protecting my kidneys?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. To help manage your high blood pressure and protect your kidney health, it's important to follow a low-fat, low-salt diet. Reducing your sodium intake can help lower blood pressure, while avoiding excessive fats can support overall kidney function.
2. In addition to dietary changes, regular physical activity, such as walking for 30-45 minutes daily, can have a positive impact on controlling blood pressure.
3. Lastly, maintaining a healthy weight is crucial, as it can significantly contribute to better blood pressure control and kidney health.
4. Please consult with your healthcare provider to tailor a plan that suits your specific needs.
Thanks
