Recently, investigations have shown that more than 26.4% of the world's adult population suffers from Hypertensive. Studies have shown that excessive weight gain, salt intake, smoking and drinking alcohol are major predisposing factors for hypertension. It is evident that dietary modifications such as improved nutritional status, such as reduced energy, salt, alcohol and increased fruit and vegetable intake, prevent Hypertensive. The benefits of micronutrients found in foods rich in dairy products, fruits and vegetables (such as potatoes, avocados, bananas, oranges), on blood pressure have been established by several studies.
