The DASH Diet Action Plan: Based on the National Institutes of Health Research: Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension
Product DescriptionThis is the user-friendly guide to the DASH diet. Proven to lower blood pressure and cholesterol without medication, it was developed in research sponsored by US National Institutes of Health, entitled, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH). Each new research study continues to prove the benefits of the DASH Diet. The DASH diet is recommended by the U. S. treatment guidelines for hypertension. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans advocate this eating plot for everyone. And the DASH diet forms the basis for the USDA MyPyramid. It is an eating plot that is rich in fruits, vegetables, low stout or nonfat dairy, is low in sodium, and includes lean meats, fish and poultry, grains, nuts and beans. The DASH diet helps lower cholesterol and supports healthy weight loss. It is flexible enough to meet the lifestyle and food preferences of most people. But, many people have found it hard to follow the DASH diet. This is the user-friend. . . More >>
When I ordered the book, I was told that my order didn’t qualify for free shipping, but if I met an amt, it would, so I ordered an additional item, but since the additional item (edger blade) was shipped from a different location/supplier, I was not given the free shipping.
I did not know that at the time.
Rating: 5 / 5
The book was informational and the content well organized But, I was not inspired by the writing skill of the author. I found the book very simple to place down.

After reading this book as well as the Glusimax Index book I have changed my eating habits at work. I get 5 or 6 varieties of vegetables as well as some nuts, raisins and a small amount of lean meat. I grind everything in a blender until it looks like coleslaw. Carry to work in several large baggies – ( I walk about a mile to public transportation (BART)and then about another mile from PT to the work site ). I take with me 4 or 5 pieces of fruit also. I eat Oatmeal with frozen berries around 6AM at work, then three 1 1/2 cups worth of the vegetable blend stuff with some tobasco and oil and vinegar dressing at 10, 12 and 2. I have lost 10 lbs in the last 3 weeks. I never really feel hungry! That’s the best part. Terry – OH! I stopped drinking beer & vodka on a regular basis.

I’M TRYING TO CONTROL MY BLOOD PRESSURE THAT HAS GONE UP THIS LAST YEAR OR SO BY FOLLOWING THE DASH DIET & AT THE SAME TIME TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT. WAS TAKING A MILD DIURETIC – DID NOT SEEM TO WORK, THEREFORE, READING THROUGH THE DASH DIET BOOK – HAS TERRIFIC INFORMATION – STILL WAITING TO SEE IF IT’LL WORK. THE BOOK STATES TO Certainly EAT ‘WHOLE FOODS’ LIKE LOTS OF FRUITS & VEGGIES & FOR SURE LOW SODIUM. THE BOOK IS Fantastic FACTS & MATERIALS BASED ON SO-CALLED ‘PROVEN RESULTS’. I CAN’T WAIT TO LOWER THE PRESSURE HOPEFULLY WITHOUT MEDICATIONS.
