In our conversation with Dr. Kim Williams we discuss the multifactorial nature of hypertension, or chronically high blood pressure. Dr. Kim talks about ways to you can prevent, manage and even reserve your high blood pressure. He talks about his own experience of developing high blood in college and why that convinced him that genetics wasn't the main culprit when it comes to high blood pressure. He also talks about racial disparities in healthcare and how it relates to chronic health issues, specially high blood pressure. If you know someone or you are personally dealing with high blood pressure you will walk away with practical tools to make changes to your health.  Key Takeaways: There are several contributing factors, but diet plays a significant role in preventing and reversing high blood pressure.   You can take control of your health and protect against hypertension (along with other chronic diseases) by eating a low sodium whole-food, plant-based diet, limiting alcohol, avoiding tobacco, and getting 45 minutes of exercise daily.  Foods that lower blood pressure are found in the plant kingdom: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes (beans, peas, lentils), nuts and seeds as well as herbs and spices.  We hope you find this information helpful.
