Dash Diet
The DASH diet is an evidence-based eating plan that has been proven to help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, improve heart health and increase weight loss. It emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and low-fat dairy, while limiting sodium and saturated fats. The diet is rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium, which are all essential for keeping blood pressure levels in check. Following a DASH diet can also benefit people with type 2 diabetes, as it has been shown to improve glucose control. Additionally, the DASH diet can help lower the risk of developing certain types of cancer. With its emphasis on healthier foods and portion control, the DASH diet is a healthy, balanced approach to eating that can be followed by anyone.
