Hi. I am a woman 34 years old. I am interested in knowing if a diet ( maybe progressive diet) could cause high blood pressure. I am on a diet and I have high blood pressure, so I am searching a conection between them.

No, it can not. Dieting can only lower the blood pressure. Eliminating the fat is a great way to lower your cholesterol. Hypertension is known as the "silent killer" and is one of the most common diseases of the cardiovascular system. It is defined as a condition of sustained elevated pressure in the arteries of 140/90 or higher. Natural foods fight cholesterol in a number of ways. Smoking a cigarette can raise your blood pressure.
