Influence of fast food on the formation and course of arterial hypertension

The overview examines the problem of the development and course of arterial hypertension (AH) due to the consumption of high-calorie and ultra-processed food. The connection between the development of AH and fast food consumption has been confirmed in many studies. In addition, dietary habits have a significant impact on the development of complications of AH, thereby exacerbating the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. The right strategy in the fight against AH due to unhealthy diet is lifestyle modification and adherence to the Mediterranean diet.
