Q6. What other non-pharmacological interventions would be suggested?
The implementation of lifestyle modifications, such as altering dietary
patterns to include special diets low in sodium and saturated fat while high in
calcium, magnesium, and potassium, as well as the adoption of time-restricted
meal intake methods that align with the circadian rhythm, are presenting new
opportunities in the realm of non-pharmacological approaches to managing
hypertension (Verma et al., 2021).Effective lifestyle modifications for reducing
blood pressure include engaging in regular physical activity, achieving weight loss,
limiting alcohol consumption, practicing relaxation techniques such as Yoga,
Acupuncture, Tai chi, participating in mindfulness-based stress reduction
programs, and adopting Transcendental Meditation
