How to Control Renin Naturally?
According to the provided reference, one natural dietary approach known to affect blood pressure is associated with an increase in plasma renin activity.
Based on the information given, a well-documented natural method for improving cardiovascular health and lowering blood pressure is the DASH diet. This dietary pattern emphasizes consuming:
- A diet rich in fruits and vegetables
- Low-fat dairy products
- Reduced amounts of saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol
This approach "significantly lowers blood pressure (BP)".
The DASH Diet's Impact on Renin Activity
The reference specifically notes that "Previous studies have documented that certain therapies that lower BP increase plasma renin activity (PRA)". Since the DASH diet is a therapy that lowers BP, the information suggests that following this natural dietary plan is associated with an increase in plasma renin activity.
Therefore, based solely on the provided reference, a natural method that lowers blood pressure (the DASH diet) is indicated to increase renin activity rather than lowering or controlling it in a reductive sense. The reference does not provide information on other natural methods that might decrease or otherwise control renin levels.
