DASHdieeti

DASHdieeti is a low-sodium diet that is designed to help manage high blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions. The diet is based on the principles of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan, which was developed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLI). The DASHdieeti emphasizes the consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy products, while limiting the intake of sodium, red meat, sweets, and sugar-containing beverages. The diet also encourages the consumption of potassium-rich foods, such as bananas, oranges, and leafy greens, which can help counteract the effects of sodium on blood pressure. The DASHdieeti has been shown to be effective in reducing blood pressure and improving overall cardiovascular health, and it is recommended by healthcare professionals as a first-line treatment for hypertension. The diet can be tailored to individual needs and preferences, and it can be followed long-term to maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
