Dash Diet
I get the Hill Health magazine every other month or so. They have some helpful information in this issue and would like to share with my readers here.
“Dash Diet
A recent study suggests the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet - known to lower blood pressure and cholesterol- also might be effective for losing weight and keeping if off. DASH emphasizes fruits, vegetables and fat-free and low-fat dairy and encourages whole grains, fish, poultry and nuts while limiting red meat, sweets and sweetened beverages.
For some， DASH can be hard to follow. If you’re struggling to stick to it, try one small change such as replacing high-sodium snacks for that apple instead of those chips, add more elements of the diet, such as increasing you vegetable intake and choosing leaner poultry and meats.”
Smokers and people with high blood pressure seem to benefit more than non-smokers and people with normal blood pressure with the high-fiber, low-fat DASH diet. You can find the DASH diet food pyramid from “How good is the DASH diet?”
DASH Diet is something women should take seriously, can reduce women’s risk of heart attack and stroke by 24 percent. Click the link below the post for the DASH diet plan.
Hope you find this piece of information helpful.
