INTRODUCTION
What is the DASH
Diet?

The DASH Diet was created by a
branch of the US Department of Health
and Human Services. DASH stands for
Dietary Approaches to Stop
Hypertension. The US Department of
Agriculture considers the DASH diet not
only an excellent option for anyone
facing hypertension or high blood
pressure, but also an optimum eating
plan for people of all ages and levels of
health.

The DASH diet has been named
the best overall diet by the US News and
World Report for three consecutive
years. Each year, the US News and
World Report compares 28 diets based
on seven different factors, including
short-term weight loss, long-term weight
loss, easiness to follow, nutrition, safety,
diabetes, and hearth health. They are
graded on a five point scale. The DASH
diet ranked 4.1 out of 5 stars as the best
overall diet over the other 28 diets three
years in a row.

These are quite impressive
rankings considering the US News and
World Report grades many other well
known, popular diets by a panel of
dietary experts. Anyone who is
interested in a dietary lifestyle change
would be well served in learning about
the DASH diet. It offers the most
rounded approached to all of the above
factors.
