On a Diet - When the dieter pursues a diet, they may
immediately think, "I'm on a diet. I am restricted on what I can eat, so I can't
have this.... And I can't have that. And, oh dear, I wish this diet were already
over!" click

The
Dash
Diet - A Diet That May Reduce Hypertension
Dash
Diet - Daily Approaches to Stop Hypertension
The
Dash Diet written by Marla Heller reduced
unhealthy blood pressure levels over a two
week period in a study sponsored by the
National Institute of Health.
The
Dash Diet Healthy Daily Menu
The
Dash Diet embraces fruit, vegetables and
dairy products low in fat, contains 28 healthy
daily menus - including recipes and healthy
tips. In addition, the Dash Diet assists
the dieter in product label comprehension,
as well in advice for making healthier food
choices.
The
benefit from gaining this knowledge is a
very powerful tool in not only reaching
a healthier weight thus obtaining a healthier
body, it ranks high in improving the individual's
daily diet throughout their life span.
The
Dash Diet Healthy Results
The
Dash Diet was proven successful in lowering
blood pressure in individuals experiencing
moderately high levels, as well as those
with a precursor to hypertension. Although
diet alone may not be enough to rope every
individual's blood pressure in check, the
Dash Diet is certainly worth a closer look
for those seeking a safe method in obtaining
healthy blood pressure levels.
Other
health perks that individuals may receive
from the Dash Diet include a reduction in
cholesterol which in turn leads to a healthier
heart and circulatory system, and when combined
with exercise may create a reduction in
insulin resistance.
Example
of the Dash Diet Daily Recommendations
As
mentioned above, the Dash Diet incorporates
more fruit and vegetables into the daily
diet, as well as healthier choices of dairy
foods.
The
following is an example of a 2,000 calorie
diet based on the Dash Diet:
- Fruits:
4-5 servings daily
- Dairy:
2-3 servings daily of skim, low fat
or fat free foods
- Vegetables:
4-5 servings daily

- Grains,
Cereals:
7-8 servings daily
- Nuts,

- Fats:

-
- Compared
to the Official Food Pyramid Daily Recommendations:
- Dairy
Food Group:
Milk, Yogurt & Cheese Food Group: 2-3
Servings
- Vegetable Food Group: 3-5 Servings

Pork, Lamb, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans: 2-3 Servings
- Fruit Food Group: 2 - 4 Servings

safe and sound diet for almost anyone seeking
a healthy diet and may even prove beneficial
in reducing high blood pressure, cholesterol
and reduce insulin resistance.
