The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) eating plan was a staple to assist in educating patients on how to lower their blood pressure, as well as how to control patient diabetes and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The document provided is similar to the handout menus we distributed at the clinic.
DASH focuses on increasing servings of fruits, vegetables, and lowfat dairy products, while decreasing sodium and saturated fat. Plus, as Marcy Ellis, PA-C, stresses "Eat fresh and stay away from the 'boxes and bags.'"
Reductions in blood pressure can begin in as little as two weeks.
