Lower weight means lower blood pressure
If you're overweight, losing even a small amount of weight can lower blood pressure. The more weight lost, the more blood pressure can drop.
Losing weight can also help prevent the development of heart disease, stroke and other serious illnesses.

What is high blood pressure?
Your blood pressure describes the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure. High blood pressure means the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels is too high.
I have multiple health issues, which program is best for me?
Many of our members have multiple health issues when joining our program. If this is you, choose the issue that you would most like to improve.
Does the program include an exercise plan?
Yes, exercise and physical activity are important lifestyle habits that can improve your health and lower blood pressure. The program includes practical at-home workouts. It’s important to speak to your doctor before you embark on any new exercise program to make sure it’s right for you.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No, you do not need a referral from your doctor to join the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet.
Do I still need to see my doctor?
Weight loss can impact the amount of medication you need. We recommend keeping in contact with your doctor and scheduling an appointment and getting your blood pressure tested after 12 weeks.
