The DASH Diet Action Plan, Based on the National Institutes of Health Research: Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension

The DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) has been proven in several National Institutes of Health (NIH) research studies to lower blood pressure and cholesterol without medication. It is the diet recommended by the NIH for lowering blood pressure. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends this eating plan for everyone. And the DASH diet forms the basis for the new MyPyramid. The DASH diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, low fat or nonfat dairy, and includes lean meats, fish and poultry, grains, nuts and beans. It will help lower cholesterol and will support healthy weight loss. It is flexible enough to meet the lifestyle and food preferences of most people. However, many people find it challengi (more…)

    The other books, and the federal guidelines didn’t make it easy to follow the DASH diet. Finally, a book that makes it practical. It has real life suggestions, without getting too bogged down in the minutia of how the research was done. This plan helped me lower my blood pressure. And I didn’t expect that I would find it so easy to lose weight, too. Real common sense approach (that isn’t really so common today). Definately recommended for anyone who wants a healthy way of eating, rather than a fad diet that makes big promises.

    I visited my physician last spring and learned that my cholesterol was very high – very risky. He suggested that I try this book before using drugs [statins]. I followed the suggestions in the book and voila! Cholesterol level dropped to a safer range.
    My doc was surprised — and now has the book for sale in his office.
    Very easy read, and simple to adapt for a traveling professional.
    Highly recommended!

    I definitely think you did a great job. — public health nurse

    I LOVE YOUR BOOK, PERIOD!! It’s SO MUCH better than the book I used to get me on the diet originally. This diet is truly the best for me that I have EVER BEEN ON. I have always eaten a lot of veggies and fruits so this was a natural for me. Your book is so easy to read and has excellent suggestions for purchasing the right kind of food — rice for instance — good recipes, your Dash Kitchen, practical ideas for quick snacks and on and on.

    I think you have done a fantastic job with your book, “The Dash Diet Action Plan”. I think it will benefit so many people, including myself. — public health nurse

    Additional menus, recipes, and the bigger pictures details of maintaining good health were terrific.

    The menus make my mouth water. I am filling this out for my husband. Adopting the DASH eating plan radically changed his blood pressure. After just two weeks on the plan, his blood pressure dropped to an acceptable level and even enabled us to obtain life insurance for him at the super preferred rate!

    The book has gotten me to try more exercises, eat different kinds of foods, and be aware of my food intake.

    The book is packed with good info. (couldn’t pick “just one” example).

    I believe that my family and I will be able to successfully change our eating habits. This book makes it look easy and do-able.

    I just received the book this week and have just started reading it. The format is much more user-friendly than the original DASH diet book.

    I have heard so much ‘buzz’ about the Dash Diet that I hit the web and stumbled onto your book. I was advised by a dietician about the book by (deleted). Right off the bat, his book seemed too complicated I set it aside. Then I received your book and I was pleasantly surprised at the content. It was easy reading, well laid out and had several charts that made sense and would be helpful on the journey I am about to embark upon. I love your book! I am sending the dietician your book title as a recommended reading for anyone on the Dash plan. Thank you for putting things out so clearly and plainly for the average joe to understand. But don’t get me wrong, it is not so mickey-mousish that I feel stupid when reading it.
