DASH diet: Healthy eating to lower your blood pressure

The DASH diet emphasizes portion size, eating a variety of foods and getting the right amount of nutrients. Discover how DASH can improve your health and lower your blood pressure.

By Mayo Clinic staff

DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The DASH diet is a lifelong approach to healthy eating that’s designed to help treat or prevent high blood pressure (hypertension). The DASH diet encourages you to reduce the sodium in your diet and eat a variety of foods rich in nutrients that help lower blood pressure, such as potassium, calcium and magnesium.

By following the DASH diet, you may be able to reduce your blood pressure by a few points in just two weeks. Over time, your blood pressure could drop by eight to 14 points, which can make a significant difference in your health risks.

This diet has been demonstrated to work as described in the article, and it is a healthful diet for many more purposes than lowering blood pressure. I have found that minor adaptations of the diet are quite amenable to a healthy calorie restriction diet, and this has been a huge benefit to me in my program. The DASH diet is worth looking into no matter what your complaint may be, whether you want to lose weight, eat healthful foods, or address the risk of virtually any age-related condition.

Michael L. Love: proclus realm, etc

I have been publishing on the web for quite a number of years.  Some of you might want to have a look at my home page, known as proclus realm.  It is derivative of a classic 1990's-era home page on tripod.com, and I have left it there thinking that it might someday server a greater purpose.  It has really fulfilled that potential.  Two of my major on-line activities hatched first at proclus realm, The Radical Mormon, and The GNU-Darwin Distribution.

proclus.tripod.com
It should be noted that Tripod, has been under the Lycos umbrella for quite some years, and it is a powerful web hosting service.  It still has the classic charm, appeal, and features, but it has also been updated with a marvellous current toolset.  I actually like the current Tripod toolbar, which is a big improvement.  I believe that this is still a free web publishing venue as well, even after all these years, although there are some impressive paid features.  Tripod is still worth checking out, especially if you are new to web publishing, domain hosting, and such things.  It is delightfull when we when it is not required to cast aside the old in order to enter the new.  I am grateful that the old ways still work, and it has been one less worry for me.  My home page will be remaining at Tripod for the foreseeable.
