Professor Sarah Berry

And what's the number that you would say it's worth going and having a conversation with your physician?

And Sarah, what's your experience in terms of thinking about blood pressure specifically and what dietary changes you might suggest to someone based upon your research and others?

I love it.

It's the first time you've ever managed to find an excuse for why we should be eating potatoes, Sarah.

Go on.

And where is most salt in our diet today?

And you talked earlier about this new study showing like these particular microbes linked to high blood pressure or not.

Is it possible to get more of the good ones and fewer of the bad ones through my diet?

We've covered a lot of the different things you could do.

I'd just like to talk about exercise a little bit more.

Is there evidence that doing more exercise can reduce my blood pressure?

So it's interesting what you just said.

So you're saying all of these things, if they also help you to reduce your weight, then you're going to reduce your blood pressure because this extra weight is pushing up your blood pressure.

If our listeners started making these sorts of changes that you're talking about, how fast could they expect to see it have an impact on their blood pressure?

And how big an impact can that be versus taking the pill that otherwise you're offering to them?

Amazing.

Thank you so much.

This was definitely, it was a new topic for me, quite complicated to understand.

I'm going to try and summarize it.

And please correct me if I've got anything wrong, both of you.
