highly recommended

The DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) has been proven in several research studies, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to lower blood pressure and cholesterol without medication. It is the diet recommended by the NIH for lowering blood pressure. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend this eating plan for everyone. And the DASH diet forms the basis for the USDA MyPyramid. The DASH diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, low fat or nonfat dairy, and includes lean meats, fish and poultry, grains, nuts and beans. It will help lower cholesterol and will support healthy weight loss. It is flexible enough to meet the lifestyle and food preferences of most people. However, many people find it challenging to put the DASH diet into practice. This is the user-friendly book, designed to make it easy; it was written by a dietitian who is experienced in helping people make sustainable changes in how they eat. This book shows you how to follow the DASH diet in your real life. How to eat on-the-run, how to add more vegetables even if you hate vegetables, how to make over your kitchen to support the DASH diet, how to lose weight with the DASH diet. It has 28 days of meal plans (with adjustments for 1200, 1600, and 2000 calorie plans), and DASH-friendly recipes. It shows you how to make other lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure, such as losing weight and adding exercise. What differentiates this book from other books on the DASH diet? This book provides practical, real life solutions. It goes beyond "what" is involved with the DASH diet; it also shows you "how." The book helps you make your own personal plan, with the specific steps you will take to fit the DASH diet into your daily routine. This book truly allows you to make your own personal "DASH Diet Action Plan," whether your goal is lowering blood pressure, or just having a healthier lifestyle. It is your first step in improving your health for the long run.

DASH works

The book was clear, easy to follow and gave additional sheets that you could use to track you eating goals. More than anything else the plan worked for me. I had stage II hypertension before then plan... now my blood presure is within normal limits. I can't give a better review than that.

Terrific Plan

I purchased this book along with the Dash Diet book and absolutely love it. I needed to lose weight, but do not have hypertension. Its a great diet for everyone. Very simple, to the point and gives great information.

JUST WANNA CONTROL THE PRESSURE

I'M TRYING TO CONTROL MY BLOOD PRESSURE THAT HAS GONE UP THIS LAST YEAR OR SO BY FOLLOWING THE DASH DIET & AT THE SAME TIME TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT. WAS TAKING A MILD DIURETIC - DID NOT SEEM TO WORK, THEREFORE, READING THROUGH THE DASH DIET BOOK - HAS TERRIFIC INFORMATION - STILL WAITING TO SEE IF IT'LL WORK. THE BOOK STATES TO DEFINITELY EAT 'WHOLE FOODS' LIKE LOTS OF FRUITS & VEGGIES & FOR SURE LOW SODIUM. THE BOOK IS GREAT FACTS & MATERIALS BASED ON SO-CALLED 'PROVEN RESULTS'. I CAN'T WAIT TO LOWER THE PRESSURE HOPEFULLY WITHOUT MEDICATIONS.

How-Tos for Lowering Blood Pressure

Had a lot of "doable" suggestions for lowering blood pressure from daily exercises to meal planning.

Dash Diet Action Plan

The book was informational and the content well organized However, I was not inspired by the writing skill of the author. I found the book very easy to put down.
