Book Description

"DASH" stands for "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension," The DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) was created to assist in lowering blood pressure. It can also prevent high blood pressure where people are susceptible to the condition. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE LEADS TO HEART ATTACKS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE! Hypertension is called the "silent killer" because about one-third of the people with it DO NOT KNOW that they have it. One in every four adults -- some 50 million people in the USA alone -- have high blood pressure. High blood pressure often has no warning signs or symptoms. Once it occurs it usually lasts a lifetime. Research has shown that following a healthy eating plan can both reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure and lower an already elevated blood pressure. If uncontrolled, it can lead to heart and kidney disease and stroke. The US NHLBI (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) sponsored a serious of clinical trials, and determined that the DASH diet was successful in bringing down high blood pressure. In fact, results would happen within as little as 2 weeks.
