"DASH" is an acronym for (Dietary Approach To Stop Hypertension), which is essentially a diet program that was designed to help individuals with hypertension or high blood pressure to help control their condition.
However, you should understand that aside from helping control your blood pressure, the DASH Diet program comes with a plethora of other health benefits too!
Unlike many other diets out there that ask you to get rid of almost all of your favorite food groups, the DASH Diet tends to follow a different pathway and asks you to control the "daily serving" of certain foods as opposed to eliminating them from your regime.
Perhaps one of the more exciting aspects of the Dash Diet is the fact that this particular diet is perhaps one of the very few that have been approved and promoted by the U.S Department of Health and Human Services. So, you can rest easy, knowing that this is not just another fad diet!
The DASH Diet helps to deal with your hypertension directly by inspiring you to lower your sodium intake and eat food that is healthier and richer in potassium.
And just in case you don't know, potassium helps to lower the effects of sodium, which again, helps to lower down blood pressure, and that allows your body to experience a plethora of health benefits.
While the DASH diet primarily focuses on increasing the intake of fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy items, you are still allowed to go for meat-based recipes, although in small quantities.
Keeping that in mind, the Dash Diet recipes found in this book - Dash Diet Cookbook 2019 for Beginners: 500 Quick, Easy and Healthy Dash Diet Recipes - 21 Day Dash Diet Meal Plan to Lose Weight and Lower Your Blood Pressure - are a combination of all sorts of Dash Diet recipes, ranging from simple vegetarian to exquisite meat recipes, to ensure that you have a plethora of options to choose from!
