The book also provides information about blood pressure management strategies, including dietary changes, weight loss, exercise, and medications. A section on current research initiatives summarizes the ways scientists are seeking to discover the causes of hypertension, factors that contribute to making it worse, and ways in which it can be improved. Facts about current clinical trials are also presented. The book concludes with a glossary of related terms, a chapter of information about cookbooks for people with hypertension, and a directory of additional resources.
