Do you want to lower your blood pressure without the use of drugs? If so, you might want to try the DASH diet, a diet ranked as one of the best for the last seven years in a row. In sum, you’ll focus on eating vegetables, low-fat dairy, and whole grain items. However, the best news of all, you don’t have to cut out any of your favorite foods – you just need to moderate them a bit. Make a DASH for the ‘fridge and you’ll be on your way to better health.
Key Takeaways:
- For the seventh year in a row, the DASH diet — which focuses on vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy — is the best overall diet.
- The DASH diet, which encourages moderation and balance, is easy to follow and is not overly-restrictive, as it is more inclusive than exclusive.
- More restrictive diets have been ranked lower, as people tend to quickly cease compliance.
“Developed by the National Institutes of Health, the DASH diet aims to lower blood pressure without medication and it also helps people shed pounds.”
