Hippocrates
The DASH diet is a well-balanced, lifelong approach to healthy eating that was discovered in research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to determine the role of dietary eating patterns on blood pressure.
Over the years a number of studies have proven that the DASH diet is not only effective for lowering blood pressure through diet but it is also effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, several types of cancers, stroke, heart disease, kidney stones, kidney disease, diabetes, heart failure and many other diseases. The DASH diet has also been shown to promote weight loss and improve overall health.
The Dash diet is recommended by:
The Mayo Clinic
That American Heart Association
The American College of Cardiology
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans
US guidelines for the treatment of hypertension
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (a part of the National Institutes of Health [NIH] of the US Department of Health & Human Services)
The best overall diet
In January 2014 US News and World Report selected the DASH diet as the best overall diet, the healthiest diet and the best diet for diabetes for four years in a row.
The DASH diet was chosen by a distinguished panel of doctors for its healthy balance of food groups, its ability to improve health and its proven track record of successfully working time and time again.
