High Blood Pressure High blood pressure (HBP) is a common unrecognized cause of headaches. And, HBP itself is very common – according to the American Heart Association, approximately one-third of American adults have HBP. And nearly one-third of these people don’t know they have HBP. This is a big problem. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health has recommended the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). This diet has been shown to reduce high blood pressure within two weeks.

Daily recommendations include • 7 to 8 servings of grains • 4 to 5 servings of vegetables • 4 to 5 servings of fruit • 2 to 3 servings of low-fat or non-fat dairy • 2 to 3 servings of fats and oils • 4 to 5 servings per week of nuts, seeds, and dry beans.
