High blood pressure or hypertension in pregnancy is diagnosed if the systolic pressure is ≥ 140 mm Hg and the diastolic blood pressure is ≥ 90 mm Hg on two separate blood pressure measurements taken 4 hours apart.

For the study, investigators tested and followed 412 adults, including 234 women, ranging in age from 23 to 76 years and with a systolic blood pressure of 120 - 159 mm Hg and a diastolic blood pressure between 80 - 95 mm Hg (i.e., prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension).

Paleolithic nutrition resulted in greater short - term improvements than did the control diets (random - effects model) for waist circumference (mean difference: − 2.38 cm; 95 % CI: − 4.73, − 0.04 cm), triglycerides (− 0.40 mmol / L; 95 % CI: − 0.76, − 0.04 mmol / L), systolic blood pressure (− 3.64 mm Hg; 95 % CI: − 7.36, 0.08 mm Hg), diastolic blood pressure (− 2.48 mm Hg; 95 % CI: − 4.98, 0.02 mm Hg), HDL cholesterol (0.12 mmol / L; 95 % CI: − 0.03, 0.28 mmol / L), and fasting blood sugar (− 0.16 mmol / L; 95 % CI: − 0.44, 0.11 mmol / L).

Furthermore, a meta - analysis of 40 randomized, controlled trials reported significant decreases in blood pressure with increased intakes of total (systolic − 1.8 mm Hg and diastolic − 1.2 mm Hg), animal (systolic − 2.5 mm Hg and diastolic − 1.0 mm Hg), and vegetable (systolic − 2.3 mm Hg and diastolic − 1.3 mm Hg) protein (2).

According to one meta - analysis cited in the review, higher sugar intake significantly increased systolic blood pressure (6.9 mm Hg, or 7.6 mm Hg when industry - financed studies were excluded) and diastolic blood pressure (5.6 mm Hg, or 6.1 mm Hg when industry studies weren't considered) when compared to diets with lower sugar consumption.
