10. Making the Change
It is never easy to start a new diet. To help the transition, it is important to change gradually. Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables slowly by adding an additional serving during mealtimes. Instead of completely switching to wholegrains, start slowly by changing it to one or two servings a day. Remember to create incentives and be forgiving when there is a slip-up.
To further decrease blood pressure, adding a regular exercise routine can also help lower blood pressure levels and weight loss. Those who have issues adhering to the diet can talk to their doctor or dietitian to obtain tailored tips on increasing compliance.
