An estimated 73 percent of adults with diabetes either have high blood pressure or take prescription medication to lower it.
The American Diabetes Association recommends keeping blood pressure below 130/80 mm Hg. Controlling blood pressure will help you stave off heart disease, strokes, diabetic nephropathy, and other chronic complications of diabetes.
By now, most of you know that eating less sodium can help lower blood pressure. But not enough people know there's more to the story than just lowering sodium intake. In 1997, researchers published the results of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) study.
What they found was that an overall low-fat diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy products can lower blood pressure, even without a reduction in sodium intake. The reason for this is that the potassium, magnesium, and calcium contained in these foods help lower blood pressure.
The original DASH study was repeated, this time with the participants also reducing their sodium intake, and it showed that the lower the sodium intake, the lower the blood pressure.
The DASH diet is a healthy way to eat; in addition to lowering your blood pressure, it may even help you lose weight, too! Here are some tips to help you lower your blood pressure — possibly by enough to avoid or stop taking blood pressure medication altogether:
Eat four to five servings of vegetables each day.
Aim for four to five servings of fruit each day. (Yes, that's in addition to the four to five servings of vegetables!)
Try for two to three servings of low-fat dairy products such a milk, cheese, or yogurt.
Keep meat intake to six ounces or less per day.
Try to limit your sodium intake to 1,500 mg/day. Especially high in sodium are packaged frozen and snack foods, processed meats like luncheon meats, soy sauce, soups, prepared pasta, and rice mixes. Always read food labels to learn the sodium content of the foods you eat.

An estimated 73 percent of adults with diabetes either have high blood pressure or take prescription medication to lower it.
在成人糖尿病患者中，估计有73%的人或者有高血压，或者正在服用药物降压。
The American Diabetes Association recommends keeping blood pressure below 130/80 mm Hg. Controlling blood pressure will help you stave off heart disease, strokes, diabetic nephropathy, and other chronic complications of diabetes.
美国糖尿病协会推荐的理想血压是130/80 mm Hg以下。控制血压可以降低心脏病，卒中，糖尿病肾病及其他慢性糖尿病并发症发生的风险。

至今众所周知的是，低盐饮食有助于降压。但大家知道的仅仅只是降低钠盐摄入而已。1997，研究员公布了降血压食谱的研究结果。
What they found was that an overall low-fat diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy products can lower blood pressure, even without a reduction in sodium intake. The reason for this is that the potassium, magnesium, and calcium contained in these foods help lower blood pressure.
他们发现，一个总体来说的低脂饮食就可以降血压。多吃水果蔬菜和低脂肪的乳制品，就算没有降低钠盐摄入，也能起到降压的作用。
The original DASH study was repeated, this time with the participants also reducing their sodium intake, and it showed that the lower the sodium intake, the lower the blood pressure.
研究人员再次重复了最初的降血压食谱研究，这一次，受试者也减少了盐的摄入。研究表明，盐越少，血压越低。
The DASH diet is a healthy way to eat; in addition to lowering your blood pressure, it may even help you lose weight, too! Here are some tips to help you lower your blood pressure — possibly by enough to avoid or stop taking blood pressure medication altogether:
降血压食谱是一种健康的饮食方式；除了降血压，还可以减肥。这里有一些帮助你降血压的小贴士——或许甚至可以让你免除口服降压药的烦恼。
