MemberCongratulations on your desire to get healthy and your weight loss! Keep it up! Yes, a DASH diet will definitely help your blood pressure since it’s reducing your salt intake. Salt will make you retain water, which causes more fluid to stay in your circulatory system, which causes your pressure to increase because your heart has to work harder to pump the extra volume.
I hope you’ve consulted with your doctor on this and perhaps you can be started on some blood pressure lowering medication. If you keep eating right and exercising and losing weight, hopefully you won’t need the pressure meds any more!
Good luck!
