Hypertension is a prevalent health issue among middle-aged women, significantly increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Dietary interventions have been suggested as a sustainable approach to managing hypertension. This study explores the impact of a soya-based diet on hypertension among middle-aged women in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. A six-month prospective study was conducted, with 100 participants divided into an intervention group consuming a soya-based diet and a control group maintaining their regular diet. Findings indicate a significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, improved lipid profiles, and overall cardiovascular benefits among those who incorporated soya-based foods. The study concludes that a soya-based diet is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for hypertension management and advocates for further research and dietary policy recommendations.
