We often want to blame high blood pressure on genetic factors. There’s nothing we can do if our parents and grandparents had the same health issues, right? Not necessarily so.
Scientists have yet to find genes or combinations of genes that count for more than a 3-5 point rise in blood pressure.
However, in studies to try and pinpoint why some ethnic groups are showing less improvement in obesity and blood pressure rates in compliance to dietary restrictions, researchers have narrowed the biggest challenge down to being cultural in nature.
Studies conducted recently showing the effectiveness of DASH diet, or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, are identifying trends that tip the benefit balance away from African Americans.
The reason for the discrepancies in overall blood pressure between whites and blacks who receive the same third-party counseling on DASH diet principles have been drilled down to compliance.
A Duke University study recently identified the cultural attachment to certain foods and methods of preparation as the chief reason why African American populations are not succeeding at the same rate as Caucasian counterparts.
The use of conventional ingredients and cooking methods, such as what you’d find on some traditional dinner menus of fried foods made with lard or large amounts of butter, sugar, and processed food, are very hard to give up, especially when the use of these foods is part of the family history and traditions.
Lack of support in the home was cited as another reason for not abandoning the fried foods and choosing a more colorful selection for the dinner plate.

FYI
i would like to get information on why some races do not suffer hypertension or diabetes are there exercises that they do or meditation techniques that they apply?pls can u let me kno i do suffer high blood pressure
I was wondering if a person’s blood group had anything to do with their development of hypertension. Cliff Richard was on a talk show and mentioned the blood group diet. He told one of the other people on the show that he hoped she wasn’t, I think he said blood group O, because those people couldn’t eat very many foods without developing hypertension. This could also possibly be a reason why hypertension appears to run in families, as it does in mine.
One reason why it is that some races do NOT have a problem with HBPressure is because for generations they have had a specific diet of eating high omega’s fatty acids foods along with sea veggies. In James case he had a virus attack his heart. His heart was only functioning at about 7%. He was about to die at any moment. Listen to this amazing Heart disease recovery. Dial 1-641-715-3800 access code 18270# – Then push 27 {no # sign after the number} just push 27. James took action after his friend shared this ABC News video report here mostpowerfulantioxidantdot.com – Help us get the word out.
Agree with Kathleen but I would add that strict adherence to Blood Group O diet could have a positive effect on health.
