About this ebook

A research study conducted on 810 volunteers who were asked to follow the DASH diet plan while lowering their sodium intake proved that people who follow the eating plan can actually lose weight while reducing their sodium consumption. Majority of the volunteers were actually overweight and all of them were asked to increase their physical activity while following the DASH diet plan at lower calorie levels. By the end of the 18-month period, the volunteers did not only have enhanced control of their blood pressure but they lost weight, as well.

    CHAPTER 1

    WHAT IS THE DASH DIET PLAN?

    Not many people realize that having blood pressure that remains even a little over the normal level of 120/80 mmHg can result to health concerns. As a person’s blood pressure increases beyond the normal level, the higher his or her health risk is.

    Based on the two key research studies that were backed by the NHLBI or the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, blood pressure can actually be decreased through a diet plan that does not only include low amounts of total fat, cholesterol and saturated fat but is also mainly composed of low-fat or fat-free milk and milk products, vegetables and fruits. The eating plan that they have determined has since then been referred to as the DASH eating plan which is mainly composed of nuts, poultry, fish and whole grain products. It involves minimal consumption of sugar-containing beverages, added sugars, sweets and lean red meat.

    The DASH eating plan is definitely very different from the typical diet that most Americans have. If you plan to start this diet plan, you will be eating food that is rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, fiber and protein. Below are the daily nutrition goals you will have once you start a 2,100 calorie DASH eating plan:

    • Carbohydrate – 55 percent of calories

    • Protein – 18 percent of calories

    • Saturated fat – 6 percent of calories

    • Total fat – 27 percent of calories

    • Fiber – 30 grams

    • Magnesium – 500 grams

    • Calcium – 1,250 milligrams

    • Potassium – 4,700 milligrams

    • Cholesterol – 150 milligrams

    • Sodium – 2,300 milligrams

    The DASH diet plan adheres to a set of guidelines to improve or sustain the health of your heart. It primarily limits cholesterol and saturated fat while focusing on the increased consumption of foods packed with fiber, protein and micro-nutrients such as magnesium, calcium and potassium that can help in lowering blood pressure. The food included in the DASH diet plan also adhere to the nutritional requirements as suggested by the Institute of Medicine.

    The original research study conducted on DASH included 459 adults who had diastolic pressures of 80 to 95 mmHg and systolic blood pressures that were below 160 mmHg. Around 27% of the volunteers also suffered from high blood pressure. The volunteer group was equally divided between men and women but 60% of them were African Americans. During the research study, three diet plans were compared to one another: 1) the DASH diet plan, 2) a diet plan that consists of common foods that majority of Americans frequently consume and 3) a diet plan similar to diet plan #2 plus more vegetables and fruits. The 3 plans all consisted of around 3,000 milligrams of daily sodium consumption. None of the diet plans consisted of specialty food or was vegetarian.

    The results of the original research study was quite remarkable. The volunteers
