Opt for Whole Over Low-Fat for Blood Pressure Benefits

Low-fat dairy products may aid in reducing blood pressure due to their potassium content, but clinical trials indicate no significant differences in blood pressure or cholesterol levels between low-fat and full-fat dairy when consumed in equivalent serving sizes. Whole food forms of dairy, which retain beneficial components like the calcium phosphorus milk fat globule, may limit fat absorption. Focusing solely on fat content is misleading; adopting a plant-rich diet, such as the DASH diet, and achieving a healthy body weight are proven strategies to lower blood pressure significantly, often by 15 to 20 points or more. The Danish Dietary Guidelines serve as a valuable resource for visualizing this beneficial dietary pattern.
