Comprehensive Lifestyle Modification and Blood Pressure Control

"The PREMIER trial showed that comprehensive lifestyle modifications are achievable and effective. These results are applicable to the general population. The effect of adding the DASH dietary pattern to previously established nonpharmacologic recommendations for BP control was subadditive. However, the DASH diet has numerous potential health benefits and comprehensive nonpharmacologic measures should be promoted for prevention of hypertension and as adjunctive treatment in hypertension management."
