Low Sodium and High Potassium
The DASH diet reduces sodium intake while promoting potassium-rich foods like bananas, potatoes, and spinach. Potassium helps to offset the effects of sodium and lowers blood pressure.
Heart-Healthy Foods
DASH focuses on fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains, which are proven to reduce hypertension.
Long-Term Success
Research shows that following the DASH diet can significantly lower blood pressure within weeks.
