The DASH diet, developed in the early 1990s, helps lower blood pressure. A clinical trial found that its effects sometimes rivaled those of blood pressure medications. Research has also linked the diet to lower risks of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer. It emphasizes vegetables, fruit, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy, while limiting red and processed meat, sugary drinks, and salt. It recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day—or 1,500 milligrams for the low-sodium plan. The article notes that 48% of Americans have high blood pressure, and that DASH’s flexibility and lack of restrictions on major food groups may make it easier to follow and help with weight management.
