Product Description
Book Description
On the heels of the bestselling self-published edition, comes the book based on the NIH-supported and top-rated DASH diet
Product Description
Finally, the #1 ranked DASH diet is popularized and user-friendly. Unlike any diet before it, DASH, which stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, came out of groundbreaking NIH-funded research. Now, Marla Heller, MS, RD, who was trained by one of the primary architects of the DASH diet and is herself the leading dietician putting DASH into action for over ten years, shares the secret to making the diet easy and accessible, in THE DASH DIET ACTION PLAN.
Rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat and nonfat dairy, lean meats, fish, beans, and nuts, DASH is grounded in healthy eating principles that lower blood pressure; reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer; and support reaching and maintaining a healthy weight.
No diet has a medical pedigree like DASH, and this book is a simple, actionable plan that can fit seamlessly into everyone's life and lifestyle. It includes:
·28 days of meal plans at different calorie ranges
·Simple tools to help you personalize a DASH Diet Action Plan for guaranteed success
·DASH-friendly recipes and shopping lists
·Tips for eating on-the-run
·Advice on healthy weight loss and exercise for every lifestyle.Now, you can revolutionize your health and change your life-without medication.

Format:Hardcover
This is another book that gives dietary advice on sensible,well-publicised criteria. Weight loss is the overiding message by healthy eating, not starvation, calorie -restriction. My only proviso with the book is the non-evidence based, scientifically authenticated (peer-reviewed journals) - sorry to be verbose. Sterols can reduce cholesterol by a few points that may not be significant within the context of other risk factors. Stress and being overweight can affect blood pressure, yes. Dietary restriction in itself will not affect cholesterol (trans fats in cakes,fast foods etc excepted) or blood pressure (salt yes) apart from the above provisos. Read the book by all means but get a check-up from your family doctor. Smoking, alcohol, exercise, being overweight, blood pressure, diabetes, family and personal history are all relevant and interplay. Cholesterol is a 'name' that includes other constituents as explained. I would not want my patients to summarise their own medical situation without professional, prognostic or objective markers. Taken in conjunction, the book is fine. If you are reading this book at least there is an awareness of a potential problem. Check it out! Sort it. Lose weight and feel the benefit short and long-term).

Format:Hardcover
An interesting and well researched book. It manages to make you qestion and seek to find answers. A little confusing with the charts to fill out, and not very helpful on weights etc - it uses the American 'cup' measurements, and yes, I know that I can convert them but it makes it a bit of a chore.
Nonetheless very insightful, and well worth a read.
