DASH Diet

The DASH diet, which stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, is designed to help lower blood pressure and improve overall health. It emphasizes eating whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while reducing salt, added sugars, and processed foods. By focusing on nutrient-rich foods, the DASH diet not only supports heart health but also encourages weight loss and better cholesterol levels. It’s recommended by health professionals for its balanced approach to eating rather than being a restrictive diet, making it sustainable for long-term health.
