Why is the dash diet not lowering my bp much? i thought this was the gold standard blood pressure diet.

DASH Diet: Is part of although not the only component of treatment. Exercise , alcohol in moderation as well as medical therapy are also important.

Blood pressure: The dash diet usually lowers BP 5-10mmhg if followed, many people require diet, exercise and medications all together. Many hypertensives require 2 or more antihypertensive drugs as each drug may only lower pressure another 10-20mmhg. Smoking can negate much antihypertensive effect so don't smoke.
