Hypertension is one of the common precursors to heart
disease and stroke, and millions of dollars are spent on medication to control it.
Yet in many cases hypertension can be lowered as successfully
as with medication through the DASH diet. Dash stands for Dietary Approaches to
Stop Hypertension. The DASH diet has more fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy
and less sweets, saturated fat and cholesterol than the typical American diet.
Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness over and over again. If people also
cut sodium, then the DASH diet is even superior to medication! (Source:

So what are you waiting for? Make a DASH for it. Here is
