High blood pressure quietly shapes the lives of one in three adults in the developed world, and while medicine has long been the default answer, a quieter intervention is gaining ground at the kitchen table. A dietitian-designed, seven-day meal plan built around high-protein foods — legumes, soy, eggs, fish — and stripped of added sugars offers a structured, accessible path toward lower blood pressure readings.
