Dash Diet

The DASH Diet was created by the NIH (National Institute of Health) in an effort to lower blood pressure and cholesterol of individuals without the use of medication.

  The DASH Diet is a low-fat and low-salt diet. This plan serves up lots of vegetables and fruits, complimented by low fat and/or nonfat dairy, fish and poultry, beans, grains, nuts and other lean meats.

  This diet works well for anyone wanting to try and lower their blood pressure and or cholesterol without drugs.  Now in truth, this diet alone won't lower your blood pressure unless your blood pressure was high because you had too much sodium or too little potassium in your diet.  But if losing weight is what you need to lower your blood pressure, this diet along with any other diet that works is a good thing.

  Like most diets, you're asked to drink eight cups of water each day, the DASH Diet recommends low fat foods with meal plans for 28 days provided, complete with DASH friendly recipes.

  The DASH plan follows recipes that are low-calorie and low-fat; adding more vegetables, even if you hate vegetables, and shows you how to make over your kitchen to support the DASH lifestyle.
