Doctors recommend incorporating fruits and vegetables into the treatment of patients with hypertension as they can lower blood pressure, reduce cardiovascular risk, and improve kidney health. A study published in The American Journal of Medicine found that the DASH diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, can be an effective first-line treatment for hypertension. The study involved participants with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease, showing that fruits and vegetables improved kidney health, reduced blood pressure, and lowered cardiovascular disease risk. The research suggests that dietary interventions, specifically incorporating fruits and vegetables, can be effective in managing chronic diseases and reducing the need for higher doses of medications.
