Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often referred to as a silent condition because you can't feel the damage it's doing to your arteries until a major event occurs. However, it is also one of the most diet responsive conditions in clinical medicine. If you've been told your blood pressure is creeping up, consulting a Nutritionist Gold Coast is the most effective way to take immediate action. At Apple A Day Dietetics, we use Medical Nutrition Therapy to help you lower your numbers and reduce the strain on your cardiovascular system.
We utilize the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) eating plan, which is backed by decades of clinical research. As your Nutritionist Gold Coast, we don't just tell you to eat less salt ; we show you how to increase your intake of potassium, magnesium, and calcium minerals that help your blood vessels relax and dilate. For those who also have blood sugar concerns, our Diabetic Dietitian Gold Coast specialists ensure your heart healthy plan is also diabetes friendly.
Lowering your blood pressure shouldn't mean eating bland food. We provide you with shopping lists and flavor guides that replace salt with potent herbs, spices, and acids like lemon and vinegar. Because we provide Home Visits throughout the Gold Coast and Brisbane, we can even help you audit your pantry for hidden sodium in canned goods and sauces. By working with a diabetes nutritionist gold coast or a general Nutritionist Gold Coast from our team, you gain a partner dedicated to your heart health and your overall longevity.
