Product Description
Product Description
More than 50 million Americans suffer from high blood pressure, and most of them control it by taking prescription drugs with potentially dangerous side effects. But there is a natural, affordable, and easy-to-manage alternative to medication: the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet. Developed by a world-class team of doctors and nutritionists, the DASH diet is clinically proven to lower blood-pressure levels and thereby reduce the risk of heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease. Now, with The DASH Diet for Hypertension, readers can benefit from:
• A hearty and healthful selection of DASH menus, recipes, even grocery lists
• DASH weight-loss and exercise programs for everyday living
• The science behind DASH, including calorie worksheets and a formula to calculate body-mass
...and much more from this revolutionary program, which is recommended by the American Heart Association; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; the American Society for Hypertension; and other leading medical authorities.

Basically this book is for people who do not already have a healthy diet. If you eat fast food, then this book will re-educate you, but if you already eat 5 a day plus fibre etc, you may find it preaches to the converted.

This book tells you exactly what you need to do to change your diet for the better to improve your blood pressure. I bought a few books on the subject when I first knew I had to start addressing the problem. This book was the smallest and the cheapest, but has been by FAR the most useful so far.

This is another money-gobbler. The advice is sensible and well-distributed through books, newspapers, other food-gurus. The message is simple enough. Lose weight sensibly. Avoid salt. There is no 'Dash' to attending hypertension. The worry is readers believing blood pressure can be controlled in 14 days. Measure it from hour to hour, day to day. Fluctuation. No relevance per se. I would be interested to know the peer-review evidence basis of this.Check with your GP. Read the book by all means but check references and credentials. Mine are medical. What I am saying is, a quick fix is not the long-term answer and may be missing other risk factors. Pete Townsend wrote "Won't Get Fooled Again". Wise words.
