A clinical trial of the effects of dietary patterns on blood pressure

Article Abstract:

A low-fat diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables can lower blood pressure. Researchers put 459 adults on a diet low in fruits and vegetables and high in fat. This was the control diet. Then they were randomly assigned to continue the control diet, or to switch to a diet rich in fruits and vegetables or a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in fat (the combination diet). Both diets lowered blood pressure compared to the control diet and the combination diet lowered blood pressure the most. Reductions were greatest among those with hypertension.

Effects of protein, monounsaturated fat, and carbohydrate intake on blood pressure and serum lipids: Results of the ominiheart randomized trial

Article Abstract:

The effects of three healthful diets, each with reduced saturated fat intake, on blood pressure and serum lipids is compared. Results reveal that in the setting of a healthful diet, partial substitution of carbohydrate with either protein or monosaturated fat could further lower blood pressure, improve lipid levels, and reduce estimated cardiovascular risk.
