Why is controlling blood pressure and diabetes in a natural way important for people?
When blood pressure is high, it puts stress on the body. This can cause damage to the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes. High blood sugar levels are a risk factor for high blood pressure (hypertension). Compared to people without diabetes, people with diabetes are much more likely
to develop heart disease and/or experience a stroke at an earlier age.
Managing hypertension and diabetes in a natural way is important because your organs and tissues need proper nutrition to work properly. Without good nutrition, your body is more prone to diseases, infection, fatigue and poor performance.
At the core of natural ways to manage hypertension and diabetes are foods that are low in unnecessary fats and sugar and high in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. The following food groups are essential in managing hypertension and diabetes.
FRUITS-great source of nutrition, fruits make tasty snacks and provide the most nutrients. Fruits are high in sugar. This sugar is natural. VEGETABLES- vegetables are primary sources of essential vitamins and minerals. Dark, leafy greens generally contain the most nutrition and can be eaten at every meal. Eating a variety of vegetables will help you obtain the bountiful nutrients that all vegetables provide.
