DASH means Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. It is recommended as a remedy for those suffering from hypertension and a preventive measure for those with normal blood pressure.
The Dash Diet recommends a dietary lifestyle change as opposed to quick fixes. You are encouraged to eat a wide range of nutrient-dense foods, mainly fruits, low-fat dairy products, lean meats, vegetables, and whole grains. Another essential component of the diet is reduced sodium intake.
The Dash Diet dates back to the early 1990s, when concern was raised about the prevalence of lifestyle diseases, including hypertension. In 1992, under the funding of the National Institute of Health (NIH), several research projects were initiated to determine if dietary changes could be effective in treating hypertension.
The participants were provided with a meal plan and advised not to include any other lifestyle modification so that all the changes could be attributed directly to the dietary interventions.
The results were encouraging. A decrease of about 6 to 11 mm Hg was reported in systolic blood pressure in a span of a few weeks. Besides, the lower levels of sodium in the diet dropped, the lower the blood pressure dropped. In addition to reducing hypertension, the cholesterol levels were reduced as well.
