Answer to Question 1

Nutritional strategies to normalize blood pressure include weight management, moderation of alcohol intake for those who drink, and limiting sodium intake while maintaining adequate potassium, magnesium, and calcium intakes.
The DASH diet features significantly decreased sodium intake, the goal being less than 1500 mg per day. Choosing foods with less processing can help, as approximately 75 of dietary sodium is attributable to manufacturing and preservation processes.
