gain may increase blood pressure. Weight loss may reduce this. Reviews have considered the long-term effects of weight loss but are related mainly to more obese participants often on obesity medication and/or undergoing obesity surgery. This systematic review, based on lifestyle interventions for adults (18 to 65 years) with mean baseline BMI of &lt;35 kg/m 2 , links weight change to blood pressure difference. A systematic review of studies reporting weight differences and blood pressure outcomes, published between 1990 and 2008 with follow-up of ≥2 years identified 8 clinical trials or controlled before and after studies (represented by 9 articles) and 8 cohort studies. Differences ranged from −11 to +4kg for weight, −7 to +2.2 mm Hg for diastolic blood pressure and −13 to +6.1 mm Hg for systolic blood pressure. For this population group, no quantifiable relationship between weight and diastolic blood pressure difference was found, possibly because of small weight losses, di...</p><div

explore ways of using diet and regular exercise as a means of reducing of reducing high blood pressure levels the world over. High blood pressure is fundamentally associated with high morbidity, mortality rates, and disability. Generally, lifestyle modifications such as exercise and a healthy diet have been seen to lower blood pressure in hypertensive and normotensive. A search of the literature was conducted on the Medline database to identify articles related to the research question. We also obtained the primary studies from the reference list of the retrieved review articles. The search was performed using the following key terms combination; hypertension, diet, and exercise, regular exercise, exercise alone, and lowering high blood pressure. For this project, the Medline database was searched under EBSCO host on 29 th of April 2013, and there was no restriction on the years covered by the search. A total of eight articles were found to be relevant. Of all these articles reviewed, three addressed the issue of diet, and the other five addressed the issue of exercise as an intervention. Lifestyle modifications using exercise and diet was found to have a great effect in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients and normotensive in all the reviewed articles. There is evidence that diet and exercise have a substantial effect in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients and the normotensive in all the reviewed articles.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"In Hypertension Patients is Diet and Exercise more Effective in Lowering High Blood Pressure Compared to Exercise Alone","attachmentId":70866145,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/54561248/In_Hypertension_Patients_is_Diet_and_Exercise_more_Effective_in_Lowering_High_Blood_Pressure_Compared_to_Exercise_Alone","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/54561248/In_Hypertension_Patients_is_Diet_and_Exercise_more_Effective_in_Lowering_High_Blood_Pressure_Compared_to_Exercise_Alone"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div></div></div><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--wrapper js-loswp-sticky-ctas hidden"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--grid-container"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--container"><button class="ds2-5-button js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"continue-reading-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":43946561,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}">See full PDF</button><button class="ds2-5-button ds2-5-button--secondary js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"download-pdf-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":43946561,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 20px" translate="no">download</span>Download PDF</button></div></div></div><div class="ds-below-fold--grid-container"><div class="ds-work--container js-loswp-embedded-document"><div class="attachment_preview" data-attachment="Attachment_43946561" style="display: none"><div class="js-scribd-document-container"><div class="scribd--document-loading js-scribd-document-loader" style="display: block;"><img alt="Loading..." src="//a.academia-assets.com/images/loaders/paper-load.gif" /><p>Loading Preview</p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="scribd--no-preview-alert js-preview-unavailable"><p>Sorry, preview is currently unavailable.
