Dietary Approach To Stopping Hypertension

The Dietary Approach To Stopping Hypertension, commonly known as DASH, is a dietary pattern promoted by the U.S.-based National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to prevent and control hypertension. The DASH diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy foods; includes meat, fish, poultry, nuts, and beans; and is limited in sugar-sweetened foods and beverages, red meat, and added fats.

Adopting the DASH diet can significantly lower blood pressure in just a few weeks. Research has shown that the diet reduces the risk of many diseases, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, and is effective in weight management. The DASH diet's emphasis on portion size, eating a variety of foods, and getting the right amount of nutrients makes it a balanced and flexible eating plan.
