Читать книгу DASH Diet For Dummies - Sarah Samaan - Страница 15

It seems like every year a new diet book comes out, full of promises and complete with enthusiastic endorsements from the celebrity-du-jour. Is the DASH diet really any different? Absolutely, 100 percent. No doubt about it.

DASH is science-based. It was developed based on reams of scientific research that identified certain foods as being especially beneficial for blood pressure. The DASH team put their highly educated heads together and came up with a diet that incorporated those foods into an easy-to-follow, inexpensive program that they believed would really make a difference. And make a difference it does. Not only can DASH help lower blood pressure, but it can also help with weight loss (thanks to eating more fiber-rich whole grains, fruits, and vegetables), reduce diabetes risk (thanks to complex carbohydrates), and more. Head to Part 2 for an in-depth look at all the benefits DASH provides for your health.
