The DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension)

The DASH Diet, or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, is a balanced eating plan designed to lower blood pressure and improve heart health. It emphasizes consuming a variety of nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy. The diet limits intake of sodium (salt), red meats, sugary drinks, and processed foods. By focusing on these healthy choices, the DASH Diet helps reduce blood pressure naturally and supports overall wellness without strict calorie counting or restrictions. It’s a sustainable approach to promote cardiovascular health through smart, flavorful eating habits.
