 August 18, 2014
The DASH, standing for The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, diet focus' on weight loss and reducing one's blood pressure. "..(the DASH) plan was developed for people who have to manage high blood pressure (as known as hypertension)."

Broken into three parts, including a section full of information a 28 day meal plan and recipes, this book is your one stop source to getting your hypertension under control. It does not just stop after those 28 days are over, no, this book gives you tops and knowledge on how to continue to make progress on your own.

A clinical study in 1997 involving hundreds of people with this problem, looked at the effect of diet on blood pressure. Over eight weeks these people partook in one of three diets, one being the DASH diet. The results showed that the DASH diet. The results showed that the DASH diet had "lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure the most."

Not only does the book provide you with recipes,a 28 days meal plan and how to use it. It also is a reference guide to how diet effects blood pressure, what organ's are effected and how they are effected by high blood pressure. Questions are answered like "Understanding what your blood pressure means" and what to do.

Amazingly informative and easy to comprehend book on DASH with recipes including Breakfast, Snacks, Soup/Salad/Sandwiches, Entree's and Desserts. All recipes are delicious and worth a try.

A Big Thumbs up!
