The health benefits of the DASH diet can be attributed to a lessening in sodium consumption, along with dietary modifications that reduce the intake of fat and saturated fat. By eating more fruits, vegetables and low-fat or non-fat dairy, you'll also lower your cholesterol, lose weight and improve your overall well-being - without the assistance of medication.

The plan advocates for a daily intake of 6 to 12 servings of grain and grain products, 4 to 6 servings of fruit, 4 to 6 servings of vegetables, 2 to 4 servings of low-fat or non-fat dairy foods, 1.5 to 2.5 servings of lean meats, fish and poultry and 2 to 4 servings of fats and sweets. It's recommended you consume 3 to 6 servings of nuts, seeds and legumes a week.

My husband, adult daughter and I have been on this diet for exactly 5 days and already I see an improvement in my blood pressure and have lost a couple pounds. Having the menus laid out for a month takes committment and planning but so far is a good experience for a family in which each member has a different schedule. I hope more people with blood pressure problems give this a try and we can live without so much medication.

VERY GOOD. AT LEAST THIS PROVIDED A LITTLE MORE INFO. APPEARS MOST OF YOUR TIPS REQUIRE MEMBERSHIP OR PAYMENT OF SOME TYPE. THIS WAS BETTER THAN MOST

When your diet suggestion calls for "6 to 12 servings of grain and grain producrs", how about telling us what constitutes a "serving". A bowl full of cereal? Two slices of whole grain bread? Thanks.

This is just another example of another one of your practically useless diet reviews. That is mainly because the review itself doesn't provide enough detail and the links imbedded (i.e. "DASH diet") in the review are misleading because they NEVER take you to a site that specifically provides the rest of the information implied.

I don't know if I can attribute any weight loss to this method but I do think the spices, espescially turmeric and chiles make my joints feel better. Also when I have a sore throat hot spices help as well as garlic and lemon. Learned this from a Japanese friend.

Even though this seems like a lot of food, it is an excellent diet
