Professor Sarah Berry

Welcome to ZOE Science and Nutrition, where world-leading scientists explain how their research can improve your health.

Can you name a health condition that has no symptoms, but is the single greatest risk factor for death globally?

No?

Here's another clue.

30% of adults in the world have it, and it causes dementia, heart disease, and stroke.

Any guesses?

The answer is high blood pressure, known to doctors as the silent killer.

However, while high blood pressure is serious, today's guest explains there are steps you can take right now that can make a huge difference.

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, one of the UK's leading cardiologists based at York Teaching Hospital.

He's a passionate believer that lifestyle changes are the most powerful way to improve your blood pressure.

In this episode, Sanjay shares evidence-based, sustainable lifestyle changes that can significantly reduce blood pressure and support overall health and well-being.

By the end, you'll have all the tools you need to keep your blood pressure in check.

Sanjay, thank you for joining me today.

Thank you for having me.

And Sarah, thank you for being here.

Pleasure.

So, Sanjay, we have a tradition here at Zoe where we always start with a quick fire round of questions from our listeners.

And we have these very strict rules.

You can give us a yes or a no, or if you have to, a one-sentence answer.

You willing to give it a go?
