This diet, coined as the 'Healthiest Diet', is designed to provide real-life solutions to high-blood pressure by suggesting a diet that merely regulates the intake of nutrients and not alter the common diet we're all used to. Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension or dash focuses on controlling the intake of sodium and fats to maintain the normal blood pressure of an individual. Dash is geared towards preparing a diet that makes satisfying meals, thus, preventing people from eating in-between meals, causing loss of control over food intake. Because it keeps people from hunger in-between meals, it ideally becomes more satisfying and less controlling. The Dash diet teaches individuals to complete the whole dash diet program by starting with stocking up the kitchen with dash-friendly food, preparing dash-friendly recipes, and performing Dash-friendly exercises. Meal plans suggested by Dash usually contain ingredients high in fibre, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Dash diets go low on sodium and sugar and emphasize the need to eat green leafy vegetables and fruits. Avocado dip, for instance, is one of the most famous Dash diets there is today, because of its very convenient and affordable preparation. Avocado, a very rich source of monosaturated fat and lutein, (antioxidants that help protect vision), is among the many fruits that are highlyrecommended for Dash diet. In this recipe, avocado has to be mashed and pitted, mixed with fatfree sour cream, onion and hot sauce. This dip shall be eaten with tortilla chips or sliced vegetables. From this dish, a person can get a total of 65 calories, 2 grams protein, 5 grams total fat, 4 grams carbohydrate, 172 milligrams potassium and 31 milligrams calcium. From this we can infer that a person is fed a considerable amount of necessary nutrients, essential for maintaining a well-balanced diet that's good for the heart. In just 14 days, a Dash diet follower will experience normal blood pressure, with fewer tendencies to eat in-between meals, the major culprit of weight gain. The Dash diet program also teaches individuals to determine the right amount of food intake, the necessary exercise to perform according to age and activity level. Dash educates and motivates --- one of the very important reasons why people find it easy to stick to the diet. Also, the diet does not require us to give up anything significant in our usual diet, instead, it helps us create a process of adjusting to little changes so we can successfully help ourselves.
Dash Diet is known to prevent heart diseases, diabetes and even colon cancer. With its goal to inculcate the lesson of going easy on salt on the common person's mind, it was able to help save lives of more than 40% of people suffering from hypertension.
