Hypertension is a condition characterized by persistent high blood pressure.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA) patients with blood pressure that higher than 130 over 80 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) is considered to have hypertension.
In the US approximately, one-third of the adults have hypertension, affecting over 77 million people in the country.
Additionally, among adults age 20 and older in the United States, in the non-Hispanic whites community, 33.4 percent of men and 30.7 percent of women are infected by the syndrome.
Hypertension is a slowly developed condition. Unless the syndrome has caused damage to the blood vessel, otherwise symptoms cannot be detected.
The cause of hypertension is a result of hardening and thickening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), due to the slow progression of plaques accumulated on the wall of the arteries.

Some researchers suggested that unhealthy dietary and lifestyle factors highlight the importance of environmental factors in the induction of hypertension onset and progression(4).
However, according to a special issue of the Journal of Human Hypertension primarily, in the concerns of dietary, lifestyle and alternative factors in the risk of hypertension and blood pressure control, focus on dietary and lifestyle factors, complementary and alternative approaches may have a strong impact in prevention and treatment of hypertension.
Therefore, increased physical activity and diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products, along with a reduction in saturated and total fat may be the best choice in exerted protective effects on blood pressure.
In the prospective cohort study based on the data on 12 279 PHS participants (mean age: 53.0 ± 8.7 years) free of hypertension at baseline, during a mean follow-up of 15.8 years,
* For the highest versus lowest quintile of omega-3 fatty acid intake, the hazard ratio of hypertension was 1.02 (0.94-1.11) (P for trend = 0.34).
* The associations did not vary by type of fish. There was also no evidence of effect modification by baseline BP, BMI, or history of hypercholesterolemia.

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.
The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of heart diseases, researchers examined the Omega 3 fatty acid activity on blood pressure (BP).

According to the results of the study of the fish and omega-3 fatty acid consumption assessed from a baseline semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire,
* Fish and omega-3 fatty acid consumption was not significantly associated with incident hypertension.
* The hazard ratio (95% CI) of hypertension was 1.10 (0.93-1.30) for men who consumed at least five servings per week of fish compared with those who did not consume any fish (P for trend = 0.29).

Moreover, researchers said, "Overall, long-term dietary intake of fish and omega-3 fatty acid was not associated with incident hypertension in a cohort of middle-aged and older US men".
Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a functional food for the prevention and of hypertension, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
