Dash Diet (Blood Pressure
Lowering Diet)
The DASH Diet - (Dietary Approaches to Stop
Hypertension) aims to reduce high blood pressure (hypertension), boost
nutrition and general health.
Calorie Intake on The DASH Diet
The DASH Diet is based on 2,000 calories
a day. It provides recommended daily servings of grains, vegetables and
meat etc. However, the diet doesn't provide a specific menu plan. You
make up your own menu based on the advice given. If you wish to lose weight
as well as reduce blood pressure, then modify the calorie-intake accordingly.
Fruit, Vegetables and Wholegrains on The
DASH Diet
The DASH eating plan is rich in fruits, vegetables
and whole grain foods. It's also high in fiber, so it can cause bloating
and diarrhea in some people. For best results, when starting the DASH
Diet increase your intake of fruit, vegetables, and whole grain foods,
gradually.
How to Order the DASH Diet
You can order a printed copy the Dash Eating
Plan from the National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute for free. Or

Advice on Diets
Special diets or diet plans with special
diet foods are sometimes needed for particular health conditions. Ask
your doctor, dietitian or nutritionist about your personal dietary needs.
Otherwise, a balanced diet program containing foods from all the nutritional
food groups is best.
