I'm sure you've been through diets in your life. If not you, you must have known people who begin a diet enthusiastically, then hit a plateau and give it all up in frustration and resume their unhealthy eating habits. Wondering what the DASH diet is all about? It's a one of a kind diet, specifically designed to reduce blood pressure levels in people. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is one of the greatest silent killers of this century.
The DASH diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. Its emphasis isn't on deprivation, but on adaptation. The DASH diet aims to change the way people look at food, to educate them about their bodies, and to teach them to make healthy, sustainable choices.
The DASH diet was created to change lives by changing lifestyles. Unlike more restrictive diets, the DASH diet was designed to be approachable, and to be readily incorporated into people's lives. For the most part, you do not need to shop at special grocery stores or go through agonizing transition periods; you just need to start adjusting your food patterns, one step at a time.
The basics of the DASH diet are simple: Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, and eat less saturated fat, salt, and sweets. It's a common-sense approach to health that really works.
The DASH diet works because it's a lifestyle that can be sustained easily, not a traditional diet. The word "diet" conjures thoughts of temporary deprivation, but the DASH diet is the opposite. It aims at educating individuals on how they can undertake clean or proper eating, on a daily basis, so that they build healthy bodies. Rather than impose strict controls on food content, such as the total number of fat, DASH diet follows important rules of choosing clean foods. When individuals understand the implications of their daily dietary decision making, they're much more likely to choose wisely. Therefore, it is easy to adopt the DASH diet.

And once you wean yourself from excess fat, cholesterol, sodium, and sugar, you will be amazed by how much better you feel!
Bad food takes its toll in so many ways, not just silently with hypertension and heart disease, but also outwardly in your appearance, energy level, and enthusiasm for life. If you are feeling sluggish, consider what you last ate.
