摘要

Abstract

To systematically compare the mechanism of action

dietary characteristics and antihypertensive features of Mediterranean diet and DASH diet in the management of hypertension.Using "Mediterranean diet" OR "DASH diet" AND "Hypertension" as the keywords

PubMed

Web of Science

China Knowledge Network and other databases were searched and screened

and patients with confirmed hypertension

cohorts of Mediterranean diet and DASH diet

systematic reviews

randomized controlled trials were included in the studies

while non-hypertensive patients or people with mixed diseases and studies that did not include the Mediterranean diet and the DSAH diet were excluded. The Mediterranean diet is centered on polyphenols (olive oil

red wine) and monounsaturated fatty acids

which regulate blood pressure through anti-inflammatory

antioxidant and activation of the nitric oxide (NO) pathway

while the DASH diet regulates blood pressure through strict sodium restriction

a high potassium-magnesium-calcium intake and metabolism of low-fat dairy products.The two diets have both commonalities and differences

and absence of direct indicating that the DASH diet regulates the flora mechanism and NO mechanism to lower blood pressure.
